Christie trapped you on an island where guilt festered and death arrived on schedule—now trap yourself in a manor where time doubles back and bodies become vessels for investigation. The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle locks you inside Blackheath's walls with a murder that repeats, forcing you to inhabit eight different hosts across eight looping days. Every aristocrat hides rot beneath silk gloves, and you'll dissect their secrets one consciousness at a time.
This isn't a whodunit you observe—it's a puzzle you solve by rewinding the crime itself. The nursery rhyme's cold arithmetic becomes a time-warped chess match where guilt compounds with every reset, and escape demands decoding the moral ledger.
If Christie's island gave you ten little murders, Turton gives you one death refracted through infinity.
