Saints & Sinners Murder Mystery
Twilight Cove is a mysterious city by the bay filled with secrets, scandals, and intriguing personalities. The metropolis is the home base of a dangerous international crime syndicate, Eclipse. The agents of this secretive organization live their lives as innocuous people – free from the federal government’s radar. Dark Core is the anonymous crime boss of Eclipse and has called for a Saints & Sinners-themed gala to be held at The Crescent Hotel. All Eclipse agents are required to attend. There may be moles posing as members of Eclipse, but Dark Core is on a mission to find out who is loyal and who is working undercover for the feds.
You are an Eclipse agent and know you will not live long if you fail to attend this cloak-and-dagger event. Eclipse has the power to wipe out all traces of you from the face of the Earth – both digital and physical. Will Dark Core finally reveal his or her identity? Nobody knows the answer to this, but you should be afraid if you are one of the spies.
Your instructions from Dark Core are to dress as a saint or a sinner for the celebration—it’s your choice. Please realize that Dark Core always has a reason for every action. Will your attire at the party give away your loyalties? Only time will tell. This is where your story begins.
