Enter a Fictional Nightmare of Murder and Mystery!

Patients and staff are being systematically slaughtered at Greystone.  After three murders in just two weeks leave local police stumped, they turn to the New Jersey State Police for help.  You, a detective with the state police, enter Greystone undercover as a patient.  Since everyone in Greystone is a suspect nobody on Greystone's staff knows your true identity.  As far as everyone is concerned, you're just another patient with problems.

Exploring Greystone will be challenging as there are acres of land to be explored. You have to make your way through underground tunnel systems and a dozen or so buildings, both active and abandoned, and even the surrounding neighborhood in search of clues, evidence and witnesses as you pursue the killer.

Interacting with several key characters in the story you'll have to tap into the deepest recesses of your detective skills to pose the right questions to the right people and know when to tip your hand with crucial evidence you'll uncover. When you make your move and and make an arrest you're on the hook and must be 125% positive your case is strong enough to get your suspect convicted. If not, the perp might walk and kill again.

Parts of Greystone may appear haunting; you'll be prowling the halls and corridors of abandoned areas closed for decades as you unravel the mystery of Greystone.  What's going to send shivers down your spine is the possibility you might unwittingly blow your cover making the killer wise to you. Don't be too surprised if you find out he's stalking you as you grapple with the evidence you need to bring him to justice.

 

"I really liked Greystone...It reminded me of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and of Silence of the Lambs. I also really liked the 'time element' in the game that after a certain amount of turns the killer will get after you. The atmosphere of the game was very well done and every new floor and room brought something new so it was never boring...All in all a very good game with nice tension" - A. Radix

Malinche Literally Puts the Greystone Case in Your Hands.

Every folio edition of Greystone comes with autopsy reports, a two page letter from the story's Superintendent of the State Police giving you the case's background along with a mandate to stop the killer. And there's more than that in every box.

Once you embark on your investigation you must sift through a myriad of clues and motives in order to track down the killer. That's no small task since there are more than a dozen different characters in the story, many with something to hide. Don't underestimate Greystone; what you might think is damning evidence may only be a red herring. On the other hand, what may appear to be perfectly harmless may turn out to be the perfect weapon.

A macabre and haunting air dominates the fictional landscape setting the tone for the chilling mystery. Some have compared the atmosphere of Greystone to a Sherlock Holmes mystery.

As you take in the landscape, conduct your questioning and build your case, the clock is ticking all the while. Make sure time doesn't run out or it might be the end of the line for you.

"I am just having the best time with Greystone. I am enjoying reading the story so much I forget I am playing a game." - June F

With this Murder Mystery the Game Really is Afoot.

Because Greystone is an interactive murder mystery, you're not just the reader; you're the main character -- the detective. Forced to engage in guile, you'll be sneaking around the grounds to preserve your cover as you gain access to ancient buildings long abandoned. The haunting atmosphere is always at your back as you scour every room following the scant trail of bread crumbs that will lead you right to the killer.

As soon as you arrive and start poking around, you'll be stunned to learn the killer struck yet again! He's moving faster than you are and it's time for you to play catch-up or you're off the case or, even worse, dead in a ditch.

At a group therapy session the room will explode with violence as the other patients express their fears and concerns and one of them reveals himself to be a vigilante. Is he an ally or a suspect? You'll be on the edge of your seat as you try and figure it out.

You'll be rifling through old filing cabinets and stumble on patient records that may take you right to the killer...or straight to a dead end.

A trip to the green house and the well-kept fields around it will lead you to more than one surprising discovery; how will you act on your findings?

Somebody at Greystone has been on the take for a long time and you'll unearth a pile of their cash. What will you do with all that money? And what can you do to to the doctor on the take?

Your powers of observation will be stretched to their limits as you roam the grounds posing as a mental patient and listen and learn as much as you can from your surroundings. When it's time to move in and make the pinch, will you be ready?

Every bit of evidence you collect can be sent to the lab for analysis.  Your partner on the grounds, State Trooper Tarkus, is at your command and will get the lab work done for you. Some of the lab reports will be pivotal to your case so pay attention!

Speaking of Officer Tarkus, he's a powerful man you'll be glad is on your side. He's there to back you up and it's a good thing he is. When it's time to make the arrest he'll be right next to you to break down doors, slam the suspect up against a car or possibly shove his loaded 9mm in their face as he begs them to resist arrest.
