The Mansion

THE MANSION。

FLOOR ONE。 During the night, the house mourns. Some nights are worse than others. The mansion has three floors and various wings, an attic, and a basement. When you enter the mansion you will be greeted with a small lobby. Dead ahead there is a large staircase and at the top there is a double set of doors which are unlocked as of Day 009. The inside of the mansion, while very large, looks like it does not fill the whole of the place. There must be more that you just can't access! Current map for floor one: THE HALLS。 Both halls have old framed pictures of various people with warped faces that make them unsightly. There are tables here and there which have a few knickknacks on them and candelabras to light the way. Some have small statues that have macabre expressions which sometimes follow you. Mirrors are strange and refuse to show you your face but will instead show you it mutilated and warped. OPEN ROOM。 Within the open room there is a fireplace with couches and chairs. At the back of this room there is a mezzanine with a table holding a chess board and chairs. The window might have had a splendid view, once. Now all you can see is fog. There is, strangely, no art, no reading materials, nothing but space and a few tall candelabras that light the place. MUDROOM。 The room is fairly spacious and generously keeps your outdoor wears. You will be greeted, however, by a skeleton who sits upon the bench within. He does not move but by his aged clothing it looks like he was once a butler. LIBRARY。 Appeared Day 009. There are a few tables and chairs for people to enjoy their reading and there seems to be a door in the bottom right corner that does not open. Within this library are rows and rows of old leather bound books all still in very good condition for their age. They all seem to be written in Archaic Latin and most of it is poetry and various fictions, some religious tales. A very specific shelf near the upper left corner of the library has rows of black leather bound books. All of these are written in a language that does not seem familiar and have notes neatly scribbled in them in the same language. While it might not be possible to understand the writing, some of the graphics and symbols within them point to alchemy and very ancient magic. KITCHEN。 There is one small candelabra on the table that serves as the only light. The cupboards are full of pickled vegetables, meats, jams, and tins of various beans. It seems to replenish itself nightly. THE BATHROOM。 This washroom contains a shower station that requires you to pump the water yourself. It is fairly clean and also quite cold. There are only the basics for hygiene. Soap. FLOOR TWO。 Opened up on Day 009. Many hallways intertwine around various sizes of bedrooms. Many of these bedrooms have only one bed and generous space to live in, however some can comfortably keep up to three people. All of these doors are unlocked part for one and be careful around that larger room that seems to fit six bodies, the shadows cling to every space within and they always seem to be watching you. Current map for floor two: BEDROOMS。 Each bedroom has a bed, a dresser with a mirror, a night table with a candelabra on it, a few chairs (depending on the size of the room) and a small fire place that always seems to be burning at a low ember. STORAGE。 These spaces have extra towels, sheets, soaps, and so on. However, it is often unnecessary as it seems as though any time you return to your room someone or something has cleaned up and refreshed everything. BATHROOMS。 All the bathrooms have a sink, mirror, bath, and toilet. DOORS AT THE END OF THE HALLWAY。 At the far end of both left and right hallways there seems to be a darkened stairwell. Attempting to climb will not get you far as about three steps in you hit a complete blackness that will not let you pass. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION。 The mansion is a central place of the game, so this page will be updated as more is revealed. ( NAVIGATION )
