What Happened To Margot Kwan?
A downloadable Mystery
Margot’s heart was beating fast and she badly wanted to catch her breath, but she couldn’t stop now. The woods may be deep and dark, but it was not her territory.
It was theirs.
What Happened To Margot Kwan? is an unofficial expansion and a modern day setting for The Girls of The Genziana Hotel by Hendrik ten Napel, inspired by the likes of Twin Peaks and Life Is Strange.
You play as young college girls investigating their friend's disappearance in an American university town that doesn't even seem to acknowledge that she's gone. But the suspect list is long and the more you look into things, the more suspicious the situation becomes.
Play this if you're into heightened YA dramas, murder mysteries with cathartic endings, and soap operas with a strange, occult energy. You will also enjoy it if you want to look straight at the true, unadorned face of the patriarchy… then punch that face in the face.

Hy Mynar! I love the premise! I just wanted to share in the files that the spreads pdf has unreadable text on the inside covers when viewed in firefox. I can highlight and copy it to another program to read it, but it's not viewable in the file itself. It contains that pitch information!
Thanks for letting me know! I'll tinker with the file and see if I can fix that...
Thank you for looking into it, I appreciate that! I'm very excited to bring this game to the table after trying out The Girls of the Genziana Hotel!
Updated the files! It just was a harmless little relic of the layout process that showed how the sausage got made. Maybe I'll sneak fun hidden messages that way in the future, tho...
wahoo! thank you - and yes, we love a future secret message!
