After narrowly escaping a masked assailant, Adrien attempts to go back to their regular college life, but the killer is still out there... Spend your time with one of three love interests, avoid dying, and find the real killer... though they may be closer than you think!

In a new take on the murder mystery genre, the killer is randomly chosen from one of the love interests at the start of every new game. Every playthrough is different, with each killer and love interest having different plot lines.
