Mysterium

Mysterium

With exactly 42 minutes on the clock, you must solve the mysterious death of a poor murdered soul who still haunts an old Scottish estate. Acting as a medium, you must determine the murderer, location, and weapon used to commit the act. The catch? One person acting as the spirit can only communicate with you through “vision cards” (wordless illustrations) that will lead you to these answers. Can you uncover the truth and free the spirit before time runs out?
