There is a legend about an abandoned orphanage located deep in the forest next to a small town. The legend says that the headmaster of the orphanage sacrificed his pupils’ souls to the Devil in exchange of immortality. Suddenly, one night, the orphanage became empty. A long time has passed since that night, but nobody still dares to go into this forest. You came here to destroy this myth, but once you stepped inside, you felt that you can’t leave anymore. It feels like some kind of unearthly forces are holding you here.... You must reveal the secret of this horrible place as soon as possible, because if you wait any longer, you will be stuck here forever and the orphanage will be filled with silence again. Trust me — staying here is the last thing you want to do...

Very good set and some great scares that added to the experience and were spaced in a way that didn’t inhibit gameplay at all. The puzzles are weak and in many cases nearly unsolvable without a hint so don’t be afraid to take a hint if you’re not getting something. Fortunately they give you 75 minutes which is enough time to flail for a bit and still finish. The audio quality isn’t great and that makes things more challenging as well, not in a good way. We called at Friday just after 8 pm which is about when they normally close I think and asked if we could play right then. Our game master agreed so a big thanks for being accommodating. Worth playing if you go in with the right expectations.
