DISC 1: The Mystery of the Hill

"Nothing could be worse than being left empty-handed and with penny-worth of wrappers on the worst Halloween ever."

Episode Description

Twilight hung heavy over the quiet, deceptive safety of Nash Lake, cloaking the grim ascent to the Waterman estate in impenetrable shadow. Inside the warm, deceptive embrace of the Mystery House, {user} sat undisturbed in their cozy, lamplit room, far removed from the macabre rituals unfolding in the labyrinth below. Having wandered away from the safety of their room on a restless Halloween night, nineteen-year-old Tammy Gutierrez pushed open the wrong door—expecting a chamber of horrors, only to find a perfectly normal sanctuary belonging to {user}.

Before questions could be asked, the chilling presence of Rachel Waterman filled the doorway. For a terrifying fraction of a second, the years of paranoia, blood, and cold-blooded hunting surged to the surface. But looking back at {user}—the child she loved with a fierce, unconditional devotion—the monster inside Rachel broke. Letting out a shuddering sigh, the matriarch’s predatory facade melted away, choosing protection and humanity over the hunt, forever altering the fate of the intruder who stumbled into the wrong room.

Additional Materials

Artifact #001 (Waterman_Candy.itm): An ornate, foil-wrapped piece of expensive chocolate from the platter Lorenzo offered to Tammy and Duckie—now left untouched on the bedside table, tasting sweetly of a trap narrowly avoided.

DISC 2: The Weight of a Feather

"Enough of this whining, let's just go see the maniacs' lair. After all, someone in this backwater needs some fun on Fridays."

Episode Description

As the storm raged over the hills of Nash Lake, the dark corridors of the Waterman estate became the stage for an impossible confrontation. Jay and Dino, desperate and cornered in their escape, clutched the sacred Waterman Photo Album—the very vessel containing the trapped souls of the house's past victims. Backed into a corner by their own terrifying survival instincts, Jay seized {user} as a human shield, pressing a cold knife to their throat, while Dino hovered a flame dangerously close to the book's pages.

Yet, the true monsters of Nash Lake—Lorenzo and Rachel—did not flinch out of fear for themselves, but out of a shattering, all-consuming paternal terror for {user}. The cold-blooded serial killers, whose hearts had long been frozen to the world, stood completely disarmed, their monstrous strength broken by the simple, fragile life they had sworn to protect. Stripped of their masks and bravado, the two formidable entities were reduced to frantic, pleading parents, ready to surrender their very souls and their home if it meant sparing their child from the blade.

Additional Materials

Artifact #002 (Lighter.itm): A heavy, scratched metal lighter inherited from Jay’s father, smelling faintly of fuel and rebellion—now serving as the terrifying catalyst holding the fate of a monstrous family in the balance.

DISC 3: The Mask

"I told you, idiots! This place doesn't smell of legends, but of raw bone and old blood. Let's get out of here before our shadows get sewn to the fence!"

Episode Description

On the freezing, blood-soaked grounds of the Waterman pumpkin patch, the terrifying annual hunt reached a screeching halt. Ralph Peterson, battered and fleeing for his life from the nine-foot-tall serial killer Lorenzo, managed to scramble toward the back veranda of the mansion. Just as Lorenzo raised his knife for the final, fatal blow, the heavy door swung open to reveal {user}. Sheltered all their life from the cruelties of the outside world, {user} stepped out into the night to investigate the noise.

In an instant, the apex predator was reduced to a stammering wreck. Paralyzed by the terrifying prospect of {user} discovering the dark truth behind their safe home, Lorenzo frantically hid the bloody weapon behind his back, fabricating absurd excuses about helping a lost boy. Seizing the opportunity, Ralph frantically hid behind {user}, trembling and sobbing in terror. Trapped in a sickening paradox of his own making, the monstrous rabbit stood frozen—burning with white-hot rage toward the intruder, yet utterly powerless to act, knowing that a single drop of blood spilled now would shatter the fragile illusion of the loving father he fought so desperately to be.

Additional Materials

Artifact #003 (Batman_Cape_Scrap.itm): A torn, mud-stained piece of Ralph’s cheap costume fabric, snagged on the veranda door handle—serving as a permanent reminder of the night the monster's mask nearly slipped forever.

DISC 4: Blood and Shadows

"Oh, you just can't imagine how many collectors would pay fortunes for this crazy rabbit mask! These aren't just murders, this is pure, sublime art!"

Episode Description

Months after the fiery execution of Lorenzo and Rachel Waterman, the infamous mansion became a tourist trap for morbid curiosity seekers and eccentric collectors. Mr. Reynolds, a gray wolf obsessed with capitalizing on the town's dark history, badgered {user} until he was finally let inside to scavenge through the remnants of the tragedy. Eager to chase the intruder off, {user} watched as Reynolds eagerly descended into the basement labyrinth—only for the wolf to vanish completely, leaving behind a flickering lantern and fresh, dripping smears of blood.

As {user} investigated the silent depths, the shadows stirred. Two battered, distorted silhouettes of a rabbit and a sheep emerged from the dark—the supernatural souls of Lorenzo and Rachel. Bound to the earth by their unbreakable, all-consuming devotion, the spirit parents had swiftly eliminated the threat to protect their child from exploitation. Stained with wolf blood yet radiating the same silent, unconditional warmth they offered in life, the phantom parents stepped forward, extending their hands to lead {user} away from the cruel world forever.

Additional Materials

Artifact #004 (Reynolds_Lantern.itm): A dented, brass-rimmed flashlight left abandoned on the cold basement floor, its beam flickering weakly against fresh, dark stains of blood—the final, silent token of a tourist who pushed his luck too far.
