Ninefold Hidden Object Mystery

A house that keeps those who understand it. Can you solve its mystery before it keeps you?

November 1968. Folklorist Dr. Elena Marsh is hired to catalogue the collection of the late Aldous Rourke at Thornmere, a remote English estate. The solicitors' letter says he asked for her by name. It soon becomes clear she is not the first. A child, a portrait painter, a botanist, a composer, an antiquarian and a clockmaker all came to Thornmere to finish the list, and none of them ever left.

Ninefold is a story-driven hidden object mystery game. Search richly painted rooms, collect evidence, connect clues on your detective board, solve puzzles and decide how the story ends.

HIDDEN OBJECT SCENES
Explore detailed, atmospheric scenes packed with objects to find. Every search turns up clues, and every clue brings you closer to the truth. Zoom in for the smallest details.

DETECTIVE EVIDENCE BOARD
Pin letters, ledgers, keys and keepsakes to a cork board, and connect them with red thread to make deductions. Work out the pattern hidden across ninety years of disappearances.

PUZZLES AND LOCKED DOORS
Crack a combination safe, turn a cipher wheel, set the hands of eight stopped clocks and more. Collect and combine items to open locked rooms and hidden compartments.

EXPLORE THORNMERE
Fourteen locations to uncover: the gate lodge, the grand entrance hall, a long gallery of painted-out portraits, a Victorian nursery, the music room, the study, a courtyard with a dry well, overgrown grounds, a rain-soaked glasshouse, an abandoned chapel, a clockmaker's workshop, a storm-lit library, and the Ninth Room.

A CHOICE WITH CONSEQUENCES
Nine chapters build to one final decision. Two different endings are waiting.

DEEP ATMOSPHERE
Narrated story, rain on glass, rolling thunder, lightning and ticking clocks. No background music, just the sounds of the house.
