The identity of the Dark Lady of Shakespeare's sonnets has eluded experts and historians for over four centuries. Follow her through the streets and alleys of Elizabethan London in this game of investigation and deduction. You must track the Dark Lady as she moves through Shakespeare's London, circa 1600. If you can get close to her, you may get a clue to her identity before she escapes again. You must gather enough clues to deduce her characteristics and confront her before she disappears for good. If you manage to capture and identify her, you win the game. The faster you find the Dark Lady, the higher your final score will be.
During each game, the Dark Lady moves around London according to precise sequences established during the game's setup. There are 20 sequences, arranged in order of difficulty, which guarantee the player a different game every time. In order to test the deduction skills of the best investigators, Black Sonata proposes to search for 12 different Dark Lady in 5 levels of difficulty. Like Orchard, the faster you find the Dark Lady, the higher the difficulty level you choose and the better your final score.
