Two brothers. One murder. And a mystery as old as mankind.
You are a medieval investigator sent back in time to learn the secrets behind mankind's first murder. Using a novel alchemy system, observation, and your wits, you must discover the untold truth about Cain and Abel.
How it begins
The Provost tops off your brandy and invites you to sit. "The question has bedeviled the Academy's Scholastics since this institution was founded," he says with a weary sigh. "What is the Mark of Cain?"
