Back in Time for Murder Mystery Game Synopsis:

It is 2099, and the demented Genesee Glasco, a quintillionaire heiress and the first world ruler, is hosting the ultimate retro gala. The steampunk-themed affair will be held at the awe-inspiring Hematite Palace in the world’s new capital, Glasco Megalopolis.

Using her latest invention, created through the collective efforts of the world’s top scientists, Genesee has hand-selected her guests from past icons, legends, and even infamous villains.

The world’s citizens have been on the edge of their seats watching the planning stages of the first worldwide extravaganza unfold on their nuclearvision devices. For the past sixteen days, the bewildered faces of the honorary guests have been publicized as they endured the excruciating journey from the past to the central platform of the Time Travel Epicenter of Glasco Megalopolis.

The historical attendees have yet to be told why they were brought into the future and are being isolated in unknown locations throughout Diamond City while they await the night of the celebration. Nobody knows precisely what Genesee has planned for the gala, but this party is undeniably a world first.

Regrettably, you are one of the icons who suffered through the painful transport from the past. You feel disoriented and are mystified about why you were brought to this strange, wondrous place and why you are not being allowed to leave. This is where your story begins.

This moderate-difficulty mystery includes fictional futuristic personalities and characters inspired by historical figures. Some characters are based on infamous rulers or villains, and the storyline contains some historical references to violence, execution, suicide, and possible mental illness.
