New investigation tools which expand the collection of evidence such as footprints, clothing, and hair.

A real-time mystery experience

In Killer Inn, 24 players live together in an ancient castle where they must alternate between predator and victim roles. The "wolves" seek to eliminate the "lambs" in secret, while the lambs must work as a team to gather evidence and unmask the infiltrators.
