The ancient, gloomy halls of Moon Valley estate loom over you, a recent orphan forced into the care of eccentric Sir Benjamin. Tensions run high: the uncle forbids forest walks, citing robbers, and demands you wear skirts, clashing with her preference for practical trousers. After another punishment for her defiance, you explores the mansion, seeking refuge in the library as footsteps approach. She hides between towering bookshelves, heart racing. Silence falls. As she peers out, a voice startles her from the shadows behind her.
