Roanoke Island Mystery

USA, 1920s. A small island off the coast of North Carolina — Roanoke Island…

It is famous for its dark mysteries. About 400 years ago the first colony of settlers here vanished without a trace. There were no signs of an attack or an epidemic, even the dishes were left untouched. Only one word was carved into the wall of a house — “Croatoan.”

People have been trying to unravel the mystery of the lost colony ever since. Tonight’s lunar eclipse coincides with a planetary parade — an event that happens once every 100 years. In the past, strange occurrences on the island coincided with such eclipses. Maybe something will happen this time too?..

Roanoke is full of rumors and legends. They say that 100 years ago an old house on Pergamov Street belonged to a sorcerer — Abe Pergam — who kidnapped people and sacrificed them to the devil. One day the sorcerer mysteriously disappeared, but his house is still avoided to this day. People whisper that it is cursed.

They say a secret society runs the island, but no one really knows what it does.

They also say Roanoke is a favorite haunt for smugglers and bootleggers. And now, in the era of Prohibition, trading and transporting alcohol is a crime that can land you a court summons.

Six months ago the sheriff Stiles’s brother, Solomon, died, and yesterday the local girl Adelia was found dead. Fishermen discovered Adelia’s body — far from her home, on the shore of the strait.

There is a psychiatric asylum on the island, which is always full of patients. Suicides are common here — especially among newcomers. What is happening on the island? And can you uncover Roanoke’s secrets without losing your mind?

The ferry to the mainland runs once a day. Today it has already left and won't return until morning…
