Murder Mystery Synopsis:
Shade Hallow Manor, a 17th-century mansion in the foggy town of Dark Cloud, was built in 1670 by the renowned author Shade Hallow. Once grand and beloved, the estate has fallen into disrepair since the last of the Hallow lineage passed away in the early 1700s. Neglected by the townspeople due to rumors of Shade Hallow's ghost haunting its halls, the manor is now overrun with weeds and decay.
Despite the ghostly legend, most townsfolk want to restore the manor as a historic bed and breakfast, hoping it will boost tourism and income for Dark Cloud. While many are excited, some believe the haunted estate should be left alone.
Now, with the cobwebs mostly cleared, a Halloween bash is underway at Shade Hallow Manor. You, a resident of Dark Cloud, are torn about the restoration but have been invited to the event. This is where your story begins.
