Perspective: Top-down

After the death of Lord North Vandernot of Ravencourt Castle, his estate passes to a young American girl, May Vandernot. Jealousy grows within the household, and May believes someone is trying to kill her. Chief Inspector Parker of Scotland Yard goes to the castle to protect her and find the would-be murderer.

A storm strands Parker and the 12 people staying at the castle. He discovers that the rooms are filled with deadly booby-traps, so he must disarm them before he can investigate. The game combines whodunit adventure with minesweeper-style puzzle play.

In each room, colored tiles show how many traps are nearby, and traps are disarmed with right clicks. Some traps work differently, including a Flashing Skull Trap and timed traps. Once a room is safe, Parker can explore it, talk to guests, listen to conversations through vents, and collect items and clues.

At the end, the player must identify the killer and the clues used to solve the case. A puzzle mode is also available with three difficulty settings.
