The Inn Between Worlds

A roadside inn serves travelers from multiple realities—versions of the same people from worlds where different choices were made. Meeting your other selves is disorienting. Some are heroes, others villains. When one version starts murdering the others to steal their successes, guests panic. Identify the killer, protect the innocent versions, and escape before the inn's owner closes doors between worlds—permanently.
