Point-and-click horror adventure set in a decaying mansion once owned by deranged toymaker Henry Stauf. You play journalist Carl Denning searching for his missing girlfriend across 22 pre-rendered 3D rooms. Progress means solving logic puzzles and riddles left by Stauf—each one blocks a door or reveals story fragments. Three cryptic women offer guidance through video sequences as you piece together what happened here 70 years ago. The game blends live-action cutscenes with static 3D environments you navigate via node-based movement. Puzzles range from chess variants to pattern-matching challenges, all themed around Stauf's twisted games. Expect atmosphere over action: most time goes to examining objects and cracking puzzles rather than dodging threats. Suits players who liked CD-ROM FMV adventures of the mid-90s and don't mind obtuse riddles interrupting the horror.
