In 1930s Louisiana, Emily Hartwood and private investigator Edward Carnby arrive at Derceto, a sanatorium, to investigate the disappearance of Emily’s uncle. Players choose whose perspective to follow as the mystery unfolds around the manor and its inhabitants. Explore Derceto’s rooms, gather clues and documents, and solve puzzles to uncover information and open new routes. The investigation also leads through surreal spaces that contrast with the manor, while optional items reveal additional details about its history. This single-player, third-person horror adventure combines exploration and puzzle-solving with occasional combat. Ammunition is limited, and players can use firearms, melee weapons, and throwable objects or avoid some enemies. Emily and Edward share much of the journey but have different dialogue and some character-specific scenes and sections.
