The truth behind the events of the Rokkenjima Massacre varies from game to game but always produces similar results.
== The Official Story ==
The official story of the Rokkenjima massacre states that, at the annual Ushiromiya family conference, an unknown perpetrator detonated an explosive that destroyed a large portion of the island and nearly everyone residing on it. It is believed that the motive behind the massacre was for the [[Kinzo's gold|legendary stash of gold]] held by family head [[Kinzo Ushiromiya]]. The only known survivor of the explosion was [[Eva Ushiromiya]]. Several years after the massacre, two bottles containing messages written by [[Maria Ushiromiya]] were found. The messages detailed the exact events that transpired at the time of the massacre. However, both messages contradicted each other, detracting heavily from their authenticity. A piece of Maria Ushiromiya's jaw was later found as part of the official investigation. The case remains unsolved.
Eva's story was that the [[witch's epitaph]] placed in the [[Ushiromiya Main Building]] was a ploy in order for Kinzo to select her to be the family head instead of her older brother [[Krauss Ushiromiya|Krauss]]. On October 5, 1986, Kinzo told her the answer to the riddle so that she could assume the headship and then instructed her to go to the [[Kuwadorian]], an isolated mansion known only to the family head. During the time of the explosion, Eva was at the Kuwadorian and thus escaped harm. Eva maintained this story until her death.
== Aftermath ==
In the wake of the massacre, several prosecutors attempted investigations into the matter to determine whether or not the sole survivor, [[Eva Ushiromiya]], had orchestrated the event in order to inherit the family fortune.
