But in the dead of night, a visitor to the mansion steals through its halls, intent on seizing the fossil for themselves. Play as Harriet Fox, the consulting detective, as she pieces together the mystery of the missing skull. Discover clues and test your mettle against the testimony of fools and liars, as you uncover an intricate tale that stretches across the years...ControlsMost of the game is played with the mouse, but you can use the arrow keys to change lines, and Backspace to fast-forward.
