Our take on DEEP IN THE DREAD
The defining structure is a first-person investigation that links paranormal story clues with puzzles requiring occasional backtracking through the mansion library.
What is DEEP IN THE DREAD?

Stella remains inside while the other librarians leave for a nearby pub, then begins encountering paranormal activity. Players investigate the mansion, interact with objects, and collect notes and a diary to uncover background details.
