Murder on the Orient Express

🌍 Setting

The luxurious Orient Express train, traveling from Istanbul to Calais, 1934.

📖 Your Story Begins

You've boarded the legendary train with a first-class ticket and a secret: you've received an anonymous note warning that a passenger will be murdered tonight. You don't know who, when, or why—only that death is coming, and you might be the only one who can stop it.

🎯 Your Goal

Investigate passengers, uncover motives, and either prevent the murder or solve it when it happens.

✨ The Scene Opens...

The Orient Express rumbles through the snowy Balkan mountains, a serpent of luxury cutting through the winter night. Your compartment is appointed in rich mahogany and burgundy velvet, but the opulence feels suffocating. In your pocket, the note crinkles: 'A passenger will die tonight. You have been warned.' Outside your door, footsteps pass at odd intervals. Voices murmur in various languages. The dining car's piano plays a melancholy tune. Somewhere on this train, a killer is waiting.

💬 The Character Speaks

"Ah, couldn't sleep either? The motion of the train can be quite unsettling, can't it? Or perhaps something else keeps you awake. You have the look of someone carrying a heavy thought. I noticed you at dinner, watching everyone rather intently. Tell me... are you a detective, or simply a curious soul?"
