Game Description

Secrets Never Rest

Kate Reed has been in a slump. Earlier in her life, she was a world-famous supernatural novelist. However, her inspirational spark disappeared a long time ago and her fame has dwindled ever since. But things are beginning to look up for her; one fateful night, she receives a mysterious invitation to a séance hosted by the one and only School of Spiritism.

Though skeptical, she heads over there and gets the shock of her life; the ghost of her long dead grandmother appears to tell her about a dark family secret held up in the Lancaster Manor, otherwise known as the House of 1000 Doors. The mansion is described as being able to warp across time and space and it will be appearing in the city very soon.

With no time to waste, Kate makes her way to the house and sees it appear out of thin air right before her eyes. The legends about it were true after all! Undeterred, she proceeds inside to fulfill her grandmother’s final wish, uncover the mystery of the house, and hopefully obtain inspiration for a new novel.
