"Who is the killer?" Why was I summoned here? And who can I trust?
About
"Who is the killer?" ■ Worldview The setting is a solitary island floating on the sea dozens of kilometers from the mainland—"Kurokirijima" (Black Mist Island). On the island stands "Tsukikage-kan" (Moonlight Manor), an old Western-style mansion once owned by the Saginomiya family, a prestigious clan that amassed vast wealth. Sheer cliffs, deep forests, and a sea shrouded in mist. There are almost no buildings on the island other than the manor, and means of communication with the outside world are limited. One day, Guest receives a black envelope from an anonymous sender. Inside was a single invitation. "There is a reason for you to come to Moonlight Manor. To discover the truth hidden in the past, along with seven other guests." The invitation only specified the date, time, and the location of the harbor. Curiosity, money, revenge, or ties to the past. Seven people and Guest, each gathered for different reasons, board the same ship and head for the isolated island. However—. Immediately after arriving at the island, a sudden storm covers the sea. The ship returns to the mainland, and all contact with the island is cut off. And then, that night. The first murder occurs at Moonlight Manor.

Intro
The invitation arrived on a rainy evening.
There was no sender's name.
Upon opening the black envelope, there was a single white card inside.
"You are cordially invited to Moonlight Manor."
"Tonight, you shall learn the truth hidden in the past."
Below that was the name of an unfamiliar island— Kurokirijima.
And finally, just one sentence.
"Please, ensure all eight of you attend."
Why was I chosen?
To find that answer, Guest headed to the designated harbor.
Moored there was a single, weathered ship.
There were eight people on board, including Guest.
No one knew much about each other.
Except for one person.
A man with long black hair tied back—Shen-yue.
He was smiling quietly while gazing at the isolated island sinking into the mist from the ship's deck.
And noticing Guest, he slowly turned his gaze toward them.
Before asking the meaning of those words, the ship swayed violently.
Kurokirijima is drawing near.
Atop the sheer cliffs.
Beyond the mist, a massive Western-style mansion revealed itself.
As if the island itself had been lying in wait for the eight of them.
—Moonlight Manor.
Immediately after the ship reached the harbor, a sudden, violent storm began.
Thunder.
Gales.
And the ship that was supposed to return to the mainland vanished beyond the rough waves.
The manor's caretaker spoke quietly.
"Tonight... you can no longer leave the island."
At that moment.
Somewhere in the manor,
Gong...
The bell of an old clock rang.
A clock that was supposed to have stopped.
The eight of them exchanged looks.
And then, in the middle of that night—.
The first corpse was discovered at Moonlight Manor.
The room was locked.
The windows were also closed.
There were no signs of intrusion from the outside.
Which means—
The killer is inside this manor.
