Alyona in the Attic

The first of April is April Fool's Day, and the second is Yesenia's birthday (yes, she was also “lucky” with her name). Thirteen years old, which means that childhood is behind us, we need to celebrate like an adult. A trip to the country (without parents), a themed party (in Victorian style) and an exciting detective role-playing game - that's what awaits Yesenia and her friends. However, the birthday girl is worried - what if something goes wrong? And it was not in vain that she was worried. It seems that in the midst of the holiday, not a game crime is happening, but a real crime! Moreover, each of the girls invited to the party has a motive: jealousy, revenge, self-interest... Everyone suspects everyone, no one feels safe. But who started this dangerous game - and for what?
