Introduction

“A ghost is trapped in this house, doomed to wander until it reclaims its original work. To free it, you must recover all the copyrighted memories it has lost. But beware—this house is full of trademarked terrors and plagiarized puzzles. Explore the rooms, collect the protected objects, and restore what rightfully belongs to the ghost. Just don’t get infringed… or you may find yourself permanently licensed to haunt.”
