This Week On Kickstarter…

As you walk up the driveway of the imposing mansion, you wonder at the size and ominous presence of the ancient building. Home of the Blood Family, you are invited to spend the weekend here. Your musings are disturbed by the sound of a horses hooves trotting on the cobbles and you barely move out of the way as a hansom cab rushes past, stumbling into the mud beside the paving. As you shake the mud off your shoe, you attempt to swallow your ire and continue your walk.

When you arrive at the door, you pull the rope which is hanging by the jamb, hearing a bell clang somewhere in the interior. Several cabs are pulled up next to the one which nearly ran you down. The horses have been removed by the drivers and taken to the stable, so you assume these belong to guests who are also here for the weekend. The door opens and you are ushered inside by the butler. The first person you see is the man who nearly ran you down.

\"Haha,\" he laughs, \"You ought watch your step! You might step into a puddle!\"

Acutely aware of your wet cuffs and the fact you are treading muddy footprints into the hall you glare at the toff with murderous intent. The butler forestalls your riposte and invites you to follow him to the bath, an offer you gratefully accept.

After the bath, you dress in new clothes and head down to see your hostess. The rest of the evening passes without incident. After a large meal and drink you and the other guests disperse to your rooms for the night. You have barely fallen asleep though, when you are jerked awake by a blood curdling scream, followed by someone shouting \"He\'s dead! Help, someone, he\'s dead!\"

Rushing down stairs you see the git from earlier in the day lying huddled in the shadows of the hallway. The others gathering are all looking at you, knowing the tension which stood between you from the afternoon\'s incident. You have to act fast, or they might think you did the foul deed!

Can you find the suspect, the murder weapon and the motive before you are accused? (Or find the weapon and flee the scene in the alternative universe where you did in fact commit murder)?
