The Marigold Murders

A fully voiced detective noir in ten chapters. Frank the landlord lays a beer mat on the bar for every telling, and in the last chapter he reads your own verdicts back to you.

Chapters one & two free · in your browser · no install · fully voiced

Ten tellings. Fifty endings. One account.

Investigate your way

Knock on doors, read the logs, sit with the grieving, trade with the press, or let a case close quietly. Every lead you choose, Harry justifies in his own voice, and every verdict is recorded on a mat.

A full cast, fully voiced

Twenty characters and every line of narration performed, from Frank's storyteller growl to the constable's found-property book. Painted scene by scene in dark oil.

The finale prosecutes you

Chapter ten reads back every verdict from every chapter you played. The charges are about Harry, and Harry is you. Four finales. Earned, not chosen.
