You boldly slip inside through the grand front doors, ears twitching at unsettling whispers in the air. Despite the eerie ambience, your feline curiosity compels you to explore further.

Stealthily finding an alternative entrance, you squeeze through a partially open window on the side of the mansion. As you slip inside, the darkness seems to envelop you, but your keen instincts guide your path. In the dim light, you catch sight of of the husband of the family meticulously inspecting a dusty old book on a nearby table, his brow furrowed in concentration. Realising that you have entered his study, you take in the surroundings—tall, dusty bookshelves looming over you, the air heavy with the scent of old parchment. With a silent glance in his direction, you continue your exploration, your senses attuned to the mysteries lurking within the mansion’s shadows.

You hear a nearby clatter and feel a chilly breeze.
If you choose to follow the sound, go to part 2A.
If you choose to follow the breeze, go to part 2B.
2A
You follow the clatter and find a partially concealed door hidden behind a heavy tapestry. With a fierce swat of your paw, you push aside the heavy obstacle and slip through the narrow opening. The passage twists and turns, the air growing colder and the shadows deeper as you venture further. Suddenly, you emerge into a bright and airy space within the mansion. The walls are adorned with colourful paintings, but there’s an eerie quality to the artwork—the subjects seem to follow your movements with their eyes. The sound of gentle brushstrokes fills the air, accompanied by whispers that seem to echo off the walls. In the centre of the room, the wife of the family is immersed in her work, her creativity flowing freely as she paints, oblivious to the strange atmosphere surrounding her.

You notice a window has been left slightly ajar, allowing a breeze to carry the scent of blooming flowers into the room. Intrigued, you pad over to investigate and find a hidden passage leading outside. Stepping through the opening, you emerge into a lush garden bathed in a ghostly moonlight. The flowers sway in the gentle breeze, casting eerie shadows that dance across the ground. Strange shapes seem to move just beyond the edges of the garden, disappearing when you look directly at them. Despite the unsettling atmosphere, you discover the wife of the family, tending to her garden with loving care, her fingers delicately pruning the plants as she enjoys the tranquillity of the outdoor space.

Suddenly, DW freezes and looks directly at you. What you see next makes your fur stand on end and your tail puffy—DW is looking at you with her eyes glazed over and an evil smile on her face, as if she is under a spell. You realise that something sinister is at play, and instinctively, you decide to flee. As you turn around to go back the way you came, you see DH right in your path. He has the same frightening look on his face.
You must get out of here and all you can do is run towards the unknown!
If you bolt to the second floor, go to 3A.

You bolt up the creaky staircase, the eerie echoes of your footsteps filling the silent mansion. As you reach the top, you’re met with the sight of a moonlit hallway, where a pair of twin girls stand, their expressions filled with fear and determination. Before you can react, you witness a sudden flurry of movement as shadowy figures materialise from the darkness, their sinister forms lunging toward the girls. With a fierce yowl, you leap into action, claws bared and fur bristling as you fend off the spectral assailants, driving them back into the shadows. With the threat vanquished, the girls turn to you with gratitude, revealing that their family has been under attack by the malevolent forces lurking within the mansion. They implore you to help them uncover the truth behind the haunting and put an end to the darkness that threatens to consume them.
