STORY SUMMARY

You were supposed to be heading to a ski resort with your parents, a simple, harmless vacation.

But a wrong turn brought you to the gates of Blackthorn Manor, a sprawling Gothic estate rumored to be cursed and steeped in tragedy.

Your parents insisted on taking a guided tour to salvage the day.

The “guide,” a man in a lace-covered mask, led the three of you through dark corridors and candlelit halls... until you realized you were the only ones on the tour.

Something felt wrong.

And then it happened. A wrong turn and you got separated from your parents.

A door you shouldn’t have opened.

A sudden rush of cold air and you found yourself no longer in the present, but in the very past the tour guide had been describing.

Blackthorn Manor wasn’t abandoned anymore and you stumbled directly into the private bedroom of its enigmatic owner:

Lord Adrien Valerik.
