Introduction
"The door slammed shut behind you with a final, echoing thud, and the air inside the house turned thick with dust. Chills prickle down your spine-deep in the shadows you feel as though something is watching you. Every room feels wrong, like it's shifting when you're not looking, and the walls whisper fragments of riddles you don't quite understand yet. A cracked mirror reveals symbols that weren't there before, a piano plays by itself but stops when you get too close, and scattered throughout the house are artifacts-rusted keys, broken figurines, and pages torn from a journal-all of them pulsing faintly with a cold, unnatural energy. You realize, with a sinking dread,that these pieces are not just clues but offerings, and something in the house is waiting for you to put them back together…"

A voice whispers from somewhere close by. The sound leads you to an old mirror hanging on the wall...but you can't see anyone or anything. The voice claims to know the way out of this place… but how can you trust something you cannot see? The voice begins to recite a riddle:
When you solve the riddle, you see the dusty mirror reflect something that isn't there...a hand slowly reaches out, holding on to an object...before you're able to see it clearly the object is gone. You rack your brain trying to make sense of what you saw.

Title 2
Before you can wrap your head around what you just saw, a loud crack echoes into the silent hallway.You catch a glimpse of something else in the mirror before it shattered into a million pieces. You can't help but wonder if it was a warning, a plea, or a clue.

There is a restless, uneasy energy that seems to follow you as you make your way down the hallway. A breeze brushes past your neck, an impossibly cold, deliberate-like breath. Your pulse jumps. You turn sharply, expecting to catch someone standing there, but there's only the dim hallway, stretching empty and endless. Still the feeling doesn't lift. It lingers, heavy and certain. Then some movement and a soft glow at the far end of the hall catches your attention. There's a small figure moving towards a door and suddenly you have the overwhelming urge to follow.
The door leads you to a study. The room is pretty bare, but against the far wall there is a desk with items scattered across it. That uneasy feeling in your gut is screaming at you to turn around and run, that you shouldn't be in there...but there has to be a reason why you were lead to this room. Maybe another clue? What should you do?

October 17th, 1995: I didn’t mean to take the notebook.
It was tucked behind a loose board in the upstairs hallway—the one that always feels colder than the rest of the house. I thought it was just another forgotten thing left behind by whoever lived here before, but it wasn’t. Not really.
The pages are filled with riddles. Not clever ones, not the kind you’d hear in a classroom or read in a puzzle book. These feel… wrong. Personal. Like they were written for me long before I ever stepped foot in this place.
The first one I read seemed harmless enough:
A soft, sad tune comes from the piano in the corner, but there's no one sitting there to play it. You take a step into the room and the music stops abruptly. An echo of sadness fills the space. A gust of wind rustles some paper on top of the piano. It looks like pages from an old journal. You pick them up and begin to read.
October 21, 1995 I should have stopped there.
But I didn’t.
Each riddle I solve seems to change something small. A door that used to stick now opens on its own. The static of the kitchen radio hisses to life at odd hours, whispering fragments of voices that cut out when I get too close. Last night, I solved a riddle about silence—something about how it “screams loudest when acknowledged.” After that, the house hasn’t made a single natural sound. No creaks. No pipes. Nothing. Just… stillness.
It’s worse at night...
You continue reading the journal, searching for more clues. Something about these words feel strangely familiar...
There’s one riddle I haven’t solved yet... “To leave, you must remain.
To remain, you must be seen.
But once you are seen—
You were never there.”
It’s written differently from the others, pressed harder into the page like whoever wrote it was afraid it might disappear...
The words on the page have disappeared. The riddle felt important. Like it’s the only one that matters. But it's gone! Frantically, you flip through the other pages of the journal, but they are also blank. When you get to the last page, you find some music symbols written on the paper and a message...

Someone is in here!
You enter into a room in the basement. It looks like it might have been an office at one time. You see some old books on a book shelf. There is one book that cathes your eye...and deep down you know that it is the other part of the journal that you found in the piano room.You grab the journal, hoping to find more clues.
October 31, 1995
I’ve read it over and over, and I can’t make sense of it. Not fully. But I feel like it’s important. Like it’s the only one that matters...
“To leave, you must remain.
To remain, you must be seen.
But once you are seen—
You were never there.”
And here’s the part I can’t explain—
I don’t remember moving into this house.
I have keys. My clothes are in the closet. There’s food in the fridge I must have bought. But I can’t recall the day I arrived, or why I chose this place. It’s like my life started halfway through a sentence.
Still… I can’t leave. Not yet.
Not until I solve the riddle.
Because I know—deep down, in that place where fear settles and refuses to budge—that the riddles aren’t just in the notebook anymore.
They’re in the walls.
In the rooms.
In me.
And if I stop now… I think I’ll become one of them.
Title 2
You find some photgraphs in the journal and you get that same nagging feeling in your gut that these pictures mean something more to you...
Which of these photos look familiar?
"To leave, you must remain.
To remain, you must be seen.
But once you are seen—
You were never there.”
A briefcase appears...
It's locked...look in the inventory for something to open it with.

Oops… you have become confused and disoriented.
Your memories dissolve and the path disappears. Return before the echo follows you…
Something went wrong...
Shadows insist on coming out... Go back… if you still can.
Something went wrong… or someone saw you.
