The Secrets of Warden Keene

1925. A small Illinois town cemetery holds a locked notebook of notes and riddles left by the previous warden. Players take on the role of the new caretaker and pore over gravestones and epitaphs to reconstruct hidden stories and uncover puzzles buried with the dead. Gameplay centers on close observation and deduction: read inscriptions, cross-reference clues from the notebook and the stone markers, and piece together answers that reveal the cemetery’s secrets. Progress depends on pattern recognition and logical inference rather than luck, with each solved clue opening new information about the town and its former residents.

    Jeu d'enquêtes original avec une thématique et un matériel immersifs. Enquêtes à difficulté variable mais quand même plus faciles qu'un Unlock par exemple. Mais ça offre une autre dynamique assez intéressante.
