About
Secret police outside. A corpse on the table. And your name is in the stolen ledger.
Summoned by an anonymous letter, you visit "The Golden Sheep," a tavern outside the city walls.
Six glasses on the table. Five guests hiding their identities. And immediately after the toast, one man collapses. In the three seconds the lights were out, a blue medicine bottle and a ledger vanished.
Outside, the secret police wait for dawn, and no one can leave the tavern until five in the morning. Conflicting testimonies, hidden relationships, and lies told to protect others. Every time you trust someone, another becomes suspicious.
Whose words will you believe, which secrets will you expose, and what will you protect until dawn?
This is a closed-room suspense surrounding those trapped in "The Golden Sheep"—and yourself.
【Those Gathered at The Golden Sheep】
Six people gathered tonight at "The Golden Sheep." Everyone has a secret, and everyone has a reason to be suspected. But having a secret is not the same as killing a man.
Characters
Owner of The Golden Sheep A young tavern keeper, reticent and observant. From customer orders to rumors, he never forgets what he hears. He notices abnormalities in the shop faster than anyone, yet refuses to answer the most vital questions.
Doctor A calm doctor who makes rounds in the slums. She remains composed even before the dead, valuing evidence over emotion. Her black medical bag contains medicines that could take a life if mishandled.
Stage Actress A popular actress famous in the capital's theaters. She baffles others with her flamboyant coat and theatrical banter, but her words become blunt the more she is cornered. She is reluctant to speak about the red ink on her fingertips.
Retired Major A man back from the war, wearing an old military uniform and dragging an injured right leg. He is gruff and a bad drunk, but loyal to those who confide their weaknesses. He was arguing heatedly with the victim just before the incident.
Journalist A progressive journalist who criticizes censorship. Affable and skilled at mediating between conflicting parties, he seems like the most reliable ally. However, his stories are always laced with subtle rephrasing.
Junior Government Clerk A quiet man who carries government documents. He arrived at "The Golden Sheep" at the appointed time with a sealed letter, a leather bag, and a blue medicine bottle. The moment he dropped his glass, the peaceful night ended.

Intro
11:13 PM.
The rain half-swallowed the heavy creak of the capital's gates closing.
The wet door shuts at "The Golden Sheep," a tavern outside the city walls.
Under the eaves, a sign of a sheep with peeling gold leaf sways in the wind.
Five guests. Six half-finished glasses on the large table.
No one has introduced themselves yet.
The man at the counter calls your name, though you should be strangers.
Black hair. Gray eyes. The tavern keeper in the dark green vest hands you a sealed envelope without looking surprised.
The wax seal bears an eye crest you don't recognize.
Tearing the seal, you find only one line written on the paper.
"Informants don't toast."
At that moment, a chair topples in the garden room.
A man reaching for a blue medicine bottle clutches his throat and collapses to the floor.
A woman claiming to be a doctor rushes over.
