The game takes place in Fall River, Mass. In 1927 immediately after the natural death of Elizabeth “Lizzie” Andrew Borden, the main suspect in the August 4, 1892, ax murders of her father and stepmother. One player takes the role of Lizzie Borden. The remaining take the roles of City Marshal, Judge, Neighbor Lady, and News Reporter, called the “Seekers.” The Seekers move room to room while picking up Victorian-age equipment to capture Lizzie’s ghost as it travels the scene of the crime: the Borden home.
