How it feels

Exploring a creaky Victorian mansion, solving puzzles and eavesdropping on ghostly whispers, feels like stepping into a cozy mystery novel.

What players say

Players call this a short, nostalgic entry with clunky movement typical of early Nancy Drew games and one genuinely creepy scare. The puzzles are fair and the story is fun, but it is beatable in a single sitting.
