About The Murder at Cthulhu Manor

After conducting a séance in an old mansion, the medium in charge of establishing contact with the afterlife, who claims to be a descendant of witches, appears dead in the basement of the building. The suspects in the murder are the participants in the meeting: a university professor, a painter, the chauffeur of the house, the man of the mansion and five other assistants. Do the strange legends about monsters capable of controlling humans that are still transmitted in the region have something to do with it? This original game from Japanese lands swells the catalogs of the murder mystery genre, increasingly widespread in the international recreational arena. What is a murder mystery? In this deductive genre, each player plays the role of a character with the dual purpose of clarifying a mystery and simultaneously achieving their own goals. The investigation, the negotiations with the rest of the cast and the exchange of information are fundamental pieces to solve the crime, but we must not forget that the murderer is one of you. You cannot believe everything they tell you, but neither can you win without trusting someone ... Enjoy this unique experience that, although used only once, will leave you wanting more.
