She\u2019s begun to reach out again, to make friends and connections\u2026 and then all that is torn away from her in a single night, when she finds her new friend, the poet Safi Llewellyn-Fayyad, dead in the snow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Murdered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Max\u2019s shock soon turns to confusion \u2013 Safi\u2019s death seems impossible, not just in its suddenness, but in the lack of clues, of suspects; not to mention the fact that Max saw her alive just seconds before.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the days pass, her shock turns to determination to find the truth. That\u2019s when she starts to hear Safi\u2019s voice. Reaching out, straining every supernatural sinew, Max <em>tears a hole in reality<\/em> and passes through into a parallel timeline. Here, Safi is still alive. And still in danger! Max is the only one who might be able to save her friend.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She also discovers her power, long-dormant, has changed. She can now Shift back and forth between two parallel timelines, each moving forward in sync. In one timeline, Safi is dead, and her friends and the campus mourn. In the other, Safi is very much alive, and Max is the only one who knows that a deadly threat stalks the college.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, players will have to solve and prevent the same murder, while uncovering every secret that Caledon holds. As you might be able to tell, the friendship between Max and Safi is core to this new mystery.
