– from the lobby side -


Opening the door leading somewhere to the right side of the mansion, you notice that you have most likely got into the kitchen. Several closely spaced tables, an oven, as well as dishes scattered on the floor – clearly confirmed this. However, the general appearance of the room left much to be desired: mud was thrown everywhere, mixed with earth and grass. It seemed: who would allow such an absurdity in their right mind. Although you didn't remember all the details of this case, but it should have been only a few days. It is unlikely that the new celebrity did not have enemies, but you would not believe that one of them was able to get into this house only to create this mess.

Then, behind all this mess, you notice another passage. From here, you couldn't tell exactly where it leads.

After taking a few steps in that direction, you suddenly hear another dish fall from the shelf. It took you a moment to shift your gaze in that direction. Nothing unusual: just an aluminum saucepan. It still continued to shudder and ring, when another sound was heard from the same shelf: it was as if something heavy had fallen, but you couldn't see what it was. You began to look around desperately, trying to find the source of the new noise. When suddenly footsteps were heard. Heavy, measured, it gave the impression that this creature was in no hurry to attack, but it was definitely heading in your direction. Every moment the distance was getting shorter, until at one moment you saw footprints on the floor. It would be difficult to describe them in simple words: it's like paws, but still somewhat resembled the trail of a bird of prey.

In any case, you didn't wait any longer.

You quickly backed away, but at the same moment the creature, whatever it was, quickened its pace. At the last moment, you managed to run to the door, run out into the lobby, but the moment you tried to close it, something hit you in the back. Immediately after, a rumble was heard, and after several boards fell from the ceiling, blocking your way to that room.

It looks like we'll have to look for another path.

Part 10 >| open the door to the writing room |<


As you approach, you scroll through the door handle. With a creek, it opens, and at that moment you notice a large table with a pile of papers. Nearby: dressers, bedside tables with other accessories, such as ink, spare pens. After taking a few more steps, you are completely in the room. Just noticing the fact that this room is quite spacious and looks more like cabinet or a place where a sculptor could safely write letters to his customers and draw up documents, you felt something alien. At first you did not attach any importance to that, but then you heard a screeching from the other side. Turning around, at first you didn't notice anything until the sound was repeated again. It was more like something was being dragged across the floor. And this something else had something sharp. Maybe a pitchfork. That's just it came from somewhere outside this room – in the end, you noticed another door. Whoever was behind her, he knew for sure that you were here. For a moment, you had the feeling that this something was watching you very closely.
