About The Last M**der at the End of the World
Outside the island there is nothing: the world destroyed by a fog that swept the planet, killing anyone it touched. On the island: it is idyllic. 122 villagers and 3 scientists, living in peaceful harmony.

Until, to the horror of the islanders, one of their beloved scientists is found brutally stabbed to death. And they learn the M**der has triggered a lowering of the security system around the island, the only thing that was keeping the fog at bay.If the M**der isn’t solved within 107 hours, the fog will smother the island – and everyone on it.

But the security system has also wiped everyone’s memories of exactly what happened the night before, which means that someone on the island is a murderer – and they don’t even know it…
