Rosebury Hangman: Prologue

Rosebury Hangman: Prologue is a comedy-mystery visual novel that throws young (and questionably stable) detective Ryan Chase (renamable) into the bustling city of Rosebury for what was supposed to be a fresh start.

Unfortunately, “fresh” quickly turns into “flat broke”, and “facing an existential crisis”. Just when he's about to become best friends with rock bottom, he gets a mysterious case from a woman named Lola—a weird little theft that smells fishier than a seafood market in July.

Naturally, things escalate. One clue leads to another, until Ryan is knee-deep in a tangle of lies, dark secrets, and the looming shadow of a very theatrical serial killer known only as... the Rosebury Hangman.

Can Ryan solve the case, confront his dramatic past, and maybe—just maybe—get his life together?

Time’s ticking. Try not to die.
