Can you escape the thought prison?

George, the landlord of The Lock Inn, was a chipper and podgy gentleman who loved a good puzzle. Since joining the Vermilion Society, his passion for puzzles grew, and he spent many hours modifying his pub so that the Deeds to it would not be stolen. Until… one day a mysterious figure called The Brewer poisoned George’s stash of beers and made his regulars sick. The Lock Inn was since condemned due to the high levels of Aconite found and George was never seen again.

Nestled at the end of Lion Lane sits The Red Herring – a chip shop designed and ran by the brilliant Eustace Whitmore. Darkened every day by his brother’s shadow, Eustace made a secret pact. Some say, he lost his soul. Some say, he lost his mind. All say, inter-dimensional travel is not for the faint-hearted.
