About this game

Shakespeare's mysterious Dark Lady moves through Elizabethan London following hidden patterns, and you must deduce her identity and intercept her path. Black Sonata is a solo deduction game using a clever card-cycling system to simulate hidden movement without needing a second player. When you think you know where she is, attempt an interception, peek at a clue, and slowly narrow down her identity. A remarkably elegant solo puzzle wrapped in literary mystery.
