About the Game

If you unraveled Return of the Obra Dinn and The Case of the Golden Idol to the very end, it’s time to pick up your pen. Your job is to write the death certificate.

England, 1959. A series of unexplained deaths has occurred at Fleming Manor, a country estate outside London. As the investigator assigned to the cases, you’ll examine each scene, study the condition of the body, question the people involved, and review the available evidence. You must identify the victim, determine the cause of death, and decide whether it was accidental, self-inflicted, or murder.

When you believe you understand what happened, record your conclusions in a death certificate or emergency report. Choosing a suspect isn’t enough, missing or incorrect information may lead to the wrong conclusion.

Death at Fleming Manor is a forensic mystery adventure built around observation, deduction, and official documentation. Its hand-drawn visual style is inspired by European crime and mystery comics of the 1960s, while the soundtrack draws from classic detective dramas. If you enjoy Agatha Christie mysteries, methodical investigations, and story-driven games where small details matter, this is one to watch.
