The Festival of Second Chances

For one day each spring, the town holds a festival where any mistake made during the event is immediately undone—words unsaid, punches unpunched. Attendees take advantage, settling scores consequence-free. Except this year, one murder isn't reversing. The victim stays dead. The killer is still out there, and the festival's magic is faltering. Solve the crime while time keeps resetting.
