About the Game

After a string of unsettling, cryptic murders lead Eddy, a broke, rundown journalist, to a seemingly remote mansion. Soon realizing he’s not exactly alone in the mansion, Eddy must navigate the mansion, and solve puzzles to bring him closer to the truth… all while surviving whoever – or whatever – is there with him.

Explore your surroundings, collect clues, and solve puzzles that will help bring Eddy closer to the truth.

Cryptic murders aren’t the only mystery in Eddy’s life. As he spends more time in the mansion, he is forced to confront dark and personal questions about himself, and his past.

Practice caution when exploring your surroundings, you have a feeling you're not alone. Take advantage of the limited resources to aid you in survival while traversing the mansion.
