The Crimson Masquerade

You've been invited to an exclusive masquerade ball where every guest wears a different shade of red. But this is no ordinary party—it's a gathering of spies, assassins, and nobles, and someone plans to commit murder before midnight. Mingle with the masked attendees, uncover plots within plots, and prevent bloodshed while maintaining your cover.
