1925. A cemetery on a hill in Illinois. A strange notebook locked away in a drawer. Recently appointed as the caretaker, you inherit it, and within its pages you uncover the secrets gathered by your predecessor, Warden Keene.
Mysteries abound, and your only clues lie in the epitaphs etched into each gravestone. They tell the story of the small town through the final traces of its residents, now resting six feet under.
Using your powers of observation and deduction, you will uncover the secrets carefully recorded in the notebook of the former cemetery caretaker you are now replacing. He knew that words carry meaning. If you are sharp and observant, his notes—along with the epitaphs and dates on the gravestones in Spoon River’s small cemetery—will begin to reveal their hidden truths. Take your time. Use Warden Keene’s reasoning if needed, and you will soon realize these graves are not as silent as they initially seem…
