The premise, in the publisher's words
You’re hired as a security guard for an art gallery that’s showing the final works of Mordechai Grey - a year after he was murdered in his artist’s loft. The police suspect he was killed by one of the six ‘muses’ he was painting at the time, but his murderer has never been caught. After starting your shift, you find yourself surrounded by his paintings, alone in the gallery with only the haunting voice of your predecessor for company. Explore rooms and corridors that weren’t there before and restore the victim’s memories by hanging portraits in exhibits with rotating plaques. Can you beat the clockwork gallery to uncover the evidence and identify the killer before your three-night shift is…
