The Red Pearls of Borneo

A Colonial Noir Mystery

The Red Pearls of Borneo is an atmospheric deduction game inspired by Return of the Obra Dinn, *The Case of the Golden Idol *and Type Help. You are a clairvoyant investigator in 1948 London, exploring the psychic echoes of a tragedy that occurred seven years prior on a remote plantation in Borneo.

Your tools are simple: a box of old photographs, a map of the plantation and your unique ability to step into the past.

Jeremiah Goodwill's tobacco plantation was supposed to be a paradise. But on the night of December 16th, 1941, as the Japanese Imperial Navy loomed on the horizon, the estate fell into chaos.
