Samuel Sage is a mystery story that starts, and then ends in the blink of an eye, with little to no fanfare. It follows the titular Samuel Sage.

But, the next day, James is found dead in his room, and the receptionist Gemma is arrested for his murder, so Samuel investigates to find out what really happened.

About This Game
Immerse yourself in a thrilling murder mystery at the Penby Inn! A luxurious hotel set in the endearing English countryside, Penby Inn is coming under a lot of fire (literally) from mind-boggling mishaps, ghoulish noises, rumours of hauntings and gruesome murder!
To add to the confusion, the rich new owner Samuel Sage, who has conveniently inherited the hotel, is completely clueless about the incendiary incidents, the drama ensuing behind its glamourous doors and the dark secrets it holds!
Will Samuel triumph over the increasingly insurmountable odds, or will he succumb to defeat? Will he shatter under the weight of the heavy burden, or will the sweet refuge of a budding romance see him through the turmoil?
During the course of the game, you will play as Samuel Sage and talk to customers, contractors, and employees of the hotel. You will visit locations in the hotel, examine reports of strange phenomena, collect artefacts, and gather evidence to help unravel the events that have plagued the hotel.



You will also examine computer logs and CCTV footage to gather evidence that can exonerate an innocent person accused of murder and determine the identity of the real criminal and motives behind the crime. To take your mind off the grave and increasingly mysterious incidents, you will indulge in a bit of spirited romance!
The game is a visual novel and comes with convenient features such as a log for re-examining saved evidence and studying artefacts gathered during exploration of the hotel.
Notes:
The game is available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
Support for Spanish and Russian will be added in the coming months.
