Paris, 1882. The magnificent Palais Garnier is haunted. The management is receiving threatening correspondence, strange voices haunt the corridors, and promising young soprano Christine Daaé has returned from a mysterious disappearance with a rather alarming account of her whereabouts.
Naturally, the management would prefer that everybody keep quiet about it.
Raoul de Chagny has other ideas.
You're a private investigator retained to uncover the truth behind the so-called Opera Ghost, identify Christine's abductor, and put an end to the disturbances before somebody gets killed. A perfectly reasonable assignment, provided you don't mind the occasional disembodied voice, inexplicable passageway, or chandelier with questionable structural integrity.
And then there's Erik.
Forty-five years old. Composer, virtuoso, architectural genius, retired assassin, and a gentleman who has apparently mistaken an entire opera house for his personal property. He has spent decades constructing an exquisite subterranean existence, cultivating a terrifying supernatural reputation, and making the management's lives absolutely miserable.
Now there's a stranger poking around his corridors.
One might expect a man of his accomplishments to respond with dignity and restraint.
One would be mistaken.
Note from the Director: A Gothic mystery and optional romance simulator inspired by Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera, combining elements of the original novel, stage musical, and film adaptations with an original interpretation of Erik's history and psychology. The Palais Garnier is an independently functioning environment with supporting characters, investigative opportunities, and an extremely theatrical resident menace.
