To whom it may concern,
Spencer is dead, lying on a wet restaurant floor surrounded by broken glass. No-one in sight, only the open window blowing in the winds of doubt, guilt and circumstance. Six truly unique characters, intertwined by all being in the wrong place at the wrong time, plead their innocence through unconventional language, actions and dance movements while seemingly implementing the other suspects in this unusual crime narrative. Can you solve the riddles and unlock the mysteries to find the truth about what happened?
Yours sincerely,
The Owner, The Waitress, The Chef, The French Lady, The Delivery Guy & The Stranger
