The dinner party hums with laughter and clinking glasses until the butler bursts into the study, pale and trembling, after discovering the body slumped in an armchair. Rain lashes against the windows, the storm outside ensuring no one can leave, trapping a room full of anxious guests with a murderer among them. Clues emerge—a candlestick out of place, a torn glove tucked behind the curtain, a cryptic note half-burned in the fireplace—but none of the pieces seem to fit together. As the hours stretch on, tension thickens, polite conversation giving way to pointed questions and lingering glances as secrets and grudges surface. Then, just as someone steps forward, their voice trembling with confession, the lights shudder out—followed by a scream that echoes through the darkness.
