The Turnabout Case

About the Game

When renowned artist Evelyn Blake is found dead in her studio, three suspects emerge:

  • Lucas Rivers, her emotional ex with a shaky alibi.
  • Victor Blake, her calculating brother desperate to save his crumbling business.
  • Marina Thorne, her ambitious business partner with everything to gain.

As Detective Shade, you’ll uncover their secrets, piece together Evelyn’s final moments, and expose the truth behind her murder. But beware—everyone’s story has cracks, and only sharp eyes and sharper instincts will lead you to justice.

Can you uncover the truth, or will the guilty walk free?

Characters

🎭 Lucas Rivers "I didn’t hurt her! I loved her… but she didn’t deserve all this pressure. Maybe if I’d done more, she’d still be here."

  • Evelyn’s ex-boyfriend and secret partner.
  • Emotional and erratic, but is it guilt—or grief?

🎭 Victor Blake "Detective, I deal in facts, not conjecture. Evelyn made her own choices. It’s not my fault she couldn’t see the bigger picture."

  • Evelyn’s brother, whose crumbling business relies on her estate.
  • Calculating, composed, and disturbingly confident.

🎭 Marina Thorne "I was Evelyn’s partner, her friend. You think I wanted this? I was trying to help her… but Victor always had other plans."

  • Evelyn’s business partner and confidante.
  • Tense and defensive, hiding more than she lets on.
