Everyone is a suspect in this peculiar whodunit after Rizzo’s hired spokesperson, the famous Halcyon Helen, winds up dead ahead of the release of the brand-new Spectrum Brown Vodka. Alongside your companions, travel across the floating islands of Eridanos and piece together clues using the Discrepancy Amplifier, a new gadget that highlights otherwise unseen hints. There’s more to this mystery than meets the eye, and it’s up to you (and your crew, if you choose) to solve the case.

But that is not all players will get, because when they land on Eridanos, they will get to travel among the floating islands, and then from the luxurious confines of the Grand Colonial Hotel to Rizzo’s colourful groves. But be careful about the smiling employees you encounter, as there’s something dark lingering under the bright and cheerful surface.
