Death at the Rectory

You’re enjoying a writing retreat held in an Australian small town when one of your fellow writers is killed, and all the rest are suspects - including you. The ancient rectory grants you curious supernatural powers, and it’s not clear if the magic is benign or malevolent. Can you figure out who the killer is before they take another victim? Is the rectory the real killer? Or is this the ultimate chance to find out for yourself what it feels like to murder another person - and get away with it?

DEATH AT THE RECTORY is an 87,000 word interactive magical murder mystery by Felicity Banks, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based - without graphics or sound effects - and fuelled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
