A voice whispers from the attic "Remember the Workers". The smell of coal smoke fills the room...answer the questions help the ghosts Choose carefully: only one answer will awaken the echo of the past.

When digging through the attic old journals are found...stories of children working in factories and their untimely deaths. The silhouette of a ghost seems clearer... but it still doesn't remember its name.
03
The floorboards creak. The voice echoes again, clearer, more human. Each response seems to return a fragment of his story.
04
The voice of the ghost echos through the halls...."Don't let the voices of the forgotten fade away. Never forget the Triangle Shirtwaist....if only they had this"

Somewhere deeper in the building, faint whispers and the creak of old floorboards hint that something unseen is watching, waiting for you to solve the secret code of this haunted tenement before it’s too late ...
What means to "change"?
I got it!
