Per press release, “They say the show must go on. But, as actors take the stage, a mummified body is found in the theater’s attic. Now, a casting call has gone out for a detective who can solve the case. But they have to hurry. The last act is a killer. Hunt A Killer, the makers of popular mystery, sci-fi, and horror-themed games, officially launched ‘Curtain Call,’ their latest murder mystery. In the game, players are propelled into an intricate puzzle and challenged to solve the decades-old death of starlet, Viola Vane. Hunt A Killer encourages players to uncover the gruesome details of how Viola was murdered and untangle the turbulent, dramatic relationships between the cast members.”
