CHRONOLOGY OF A GHOST is a free browser game, free to play in the browser.
The people who were in this house are gone. Their shadows are not. Every room still plays its night on a loop, and all that is left of it is what a lamp throws on the wall. You carry the lamp. Move it and the shadows move: two people who hide each other from one spot come apart when you step sideways. Carry it toward the wall and every shadow grows; carry it back and they shrink.
A shadow outside your pool of light falls on a dark wall and is not there at all. Each room asks its questions at the strike of its clock. At the first chime, who poured from the decanter at the table? The answer is on the wall, if you stand in the right place at the right moment. Your casebook writes an answer in ink only when at least two on the page are right at once, and it never tells you which ones are wrong.
What is in it Four rooms, each a night on a loop: the parlour, the study, the conservatory and the landing. Thirteen questions to answer from silhouettes alone: hats, coats, canes and the things people carry in their hands. Real projected shadows. Every shadow is cast from the lantern's position and height, so moving the light is the whole game.
