Introducing Kensington Manor.
Summary: Kensington Manor is a stylized murder-mystery game, where the players are in the process of restoring an old Victorian Manor into a functional Bed and Breakfast, however, one individual is not his/herself. Something evil is within these walls. Will the players find and expel this spirit before it extinguishes them?
Concept: Kensington Manor is a online multiplayer game of matches consisting upwards to 8 players. The game plays out much like a game of clue with one player taking on the role of the antagonist, a possessed individual. The group will have to perform a number of tasks to make the Manor into a functional BnB, before the possessed individual turns the Manor into a scene of a mass murder.
Throughout the course of gameplay, each player will be given a list of tasks to perform and cooperate with each other to get the manor into a functional state. Each task will bring them closer to victory. The possessed individual has to be cautious though. Maintaining an aura of humanity, cooperation and ultimately deception is a must if the possessed wants to be victorious.
Each map will contain randomized room designs to keep gameplay fresh each time you step foot inside the manor. Take time to enjoy the quirky characters and spooky atmosphere, but not too much time, for you are likely being watched.
