The Scarlet Ball is an annual high-society event where the finest of the fine gather to drink wine, spill blood, and engage in the evening's chief theme: polite murder. You are Countess Karolina Baumgartner, and you are here for one specific reason — to kill the event's host, Lady Elaine Smythe, and bring this yearly tradition to a permanent and very indelicate end. Whatever stands in your way is simply part of the occasion. A narrative mystery game about a very particular kind of social call.
