The player initially enters through the hall and into a dining room, which looks gorgeous, gothic, Victorian, and somehow really lived-in. ![]() The artist clearly welcomes constructive criticism. The protagonist then enters the house, which as the game’s sole environment proves a surprisingly unrestrictive game world for reasons which become apparent a short distance in.
