## About This Game
The year is 1482.
The age of exploration and enlightenment is on the distant horizon and the
Renaissance is in full swing across Europe; but in England, the War of the
Roses is in its final throes. Change is coming, but in one little convent in
the north of the kingdom, everyone has seemed blissfully unaware.
Everyone except Sister Catherine, a beloved nun and firebrand thinker who has
just been murdered. In an isolated monastery with an already mysterious
reputation, any one of the Sisters could be the killer–and Mother Superior is
as stumped as anyone else. That’s where you come in.
As an Anchoress, you took an oath to never leave your cell; to devote yourself
entirely to God and provide spiritual support to all who came to your door.
But as the only Sister who couldn’t possibly have committed the crime, you
have a new mission: solve the case, before the bishop shutters the convent and
the killer goes unpunished.
The Superior hasn’t told everyone why you’ve suddenly joined the regular
congregation, but something tells you most of these women know exactly what’s
going on. Who can you trust? Who is being honest, and who has their guard up–
and why? Is the convent really haunted? Who killed Sister Catherine? And worst
of all… are you next?
