But as the story unfolds and the early mysteries meet their resolutions, events build into the fantastical. Some are more out there than others, but still well within the realm of possibility. ![]() In the early game, these secrets stay mostly grounded in political intrigue. As you explore the island and its looming manor, you can unravel each character’s motivations as well as find clues as to the truth of Sarah’s whereabouts. On this adventure, he must deal with a mysterious island and the secrets of its owner, one Lord Mortimer, and the various other guests staying there.
