About the Story
Death is a terrible, terrible thing that happens to other people!
Bon vivant Lady Anneliese van der Meer is privy to the finer things in life, and she is poised to be one the richest women in Surrey following her 21st birthday. At the tender age of 20, she is a person of many talents and also irrevocably, unmistakably dead.
Raging against the sheer injustice, her soul lingers around to relive her final day, searching for an answer...
A mysterious affair in a secluded manor. Three suspects.
Can you reach the truth she is looking for?

Ratings and Reviews
Trying to crack this one, May 31, 2025I've played quite a number of VNs for the dialogue jam. A good number of them had pretty high production values for the event, and Lady Anneliese Dies could be another of them. There is plenty of delightfully fitting music and art here (most of it appears to be free assets, such as pixabay), but the overall product feels pretty high quality, with the mysterious and otherworldy vibes.
A powerful heiress (whom you play as) dies under mysterious circumstances. Using some mystical powers, she travels back in time to figure out who or what killed her.
There are three main suspects, along with a few other possible options like a stranger or a self-inflicted death. The game puts you through a couple of scenes as you move back in time to see what happened and figure out who the murderer is. Still, I was unable to solve this one, and it seems (I might be wrong) that the developers wanted this to be somewhat ambigious so that people could discuss possible theories. Anyway, I'm pretty bad at solving mysteries, so there's probably little I can bring to the table. Still, it was an enjoyable read, even though I'm scratching my head now.
