Deadtime Stories is a Hidden objectPC game developed by I-play and distributed by Big Fish Games. The premise of the game centers around a mysterious gentleman, named "Edward Blackgate", and the lost souls interred in his private cemetery, "Everlasting Life". The player meets these lost souls and learns about the events that lead to their respective downfalls.
Jessie Bodeen
Miss. Jessie Bodeen was a New Orleansvoodoo queen, who acted as a healer for the local African Americans working as servants in the city, and as a healer she was pledged to do no harm. Now a resident at "Everlasting Life", she tells the story of her downfall when she accepted a commission from one Delphine LaLaurie, (a historically famous real-life murderess), for $150 (a lot of money back then), to drive away another socialite, Mrs. Anton, who was new in town and already more popular than Delphine LaLaurie. For the next three months, Jessie descreetly poisons Mrs. Anton with small amounts of Aconite to keep her too ill to attend any parties. However, when the three months are done, Delphine LaLaurie reneges on their deal after Jessie Bodeen had kept up her end of it. Furious, after the lengths she had compromised her principles to for that money, Jessie Bodeen seeks revenge on Delphine LaLaurie by invoking the Loa, particularly Damballa, to avenge her. The Loa punish Delphine LaLaurie, and 10 years later, they also punish Jessie Bodeen for having taken on Delphine LaLaurie's commission in the first place ("The Loa cast their own judgements").
