Dare Ye Enter Blackwood Manor?

Blackwood Manor looms over you in the night, a full blood-red moon hanging swollen in the sky. Your friends are egging you on, calling you a wimp.

"C'mon, chicken… Bawk, Bawk, Bawk!" Teddy says mockingly, flapping his arms like a bird.

Do you:

Enter through the open front door (1) or try going around to the back (7)

!The door creaks open as you step inside the musty old mansion. A chandelier hangs from above, laced with spider webs. The sound of a child's laughter comes from ahead. Do you investigate the second floor (5) or move into the shadows, heading towards the sound (2)!<

! As you move forward through the house, the floorboards squeak loudly beneath your feet. The front door slams shut behind you, leaving you alone in utter darkness, the unfamiliar house seeming to breathe, groaning in and out like a set of ancient lungs surrounding you. Do you turn left towards a light (3) or keep going deeper into the darkness (4) !<

!You enter a well-lit kitchen. It's bright and welcoming. A strange compulsion washes over you and you find yourself sitting down in front of the window at a small round table. As you stare in the glass, looking at your reflection. Your skin begins to change, becoming wrinkled and haggard. Blood begins to bloom along the cracks of your features as your flesh splits open, maggots tumbling out from beneath the surface. As you scream, the life force begins leaving your body and you age a thousand years in an instant.!<

!As you move deeper into the blackened hallway, you hear a voice whispering softly from behind a closed door to your right. Do you open it (6), go back to the entrance (9), or run out the back door (7)!<

!On the second floor you begin to hear noises coming from the attic, above you. It sounds like footsteps moving across the ceiling. Do you pull the trap door down by its string and investigate the attic (8) or run (9)!<

!A small child sits waiting for you inside the room, holding a doll which looks just like you as well as a needle and thread. Before you can speak, the child begins to sew the mouth of the doll closed. You feel your own mouth being sealed shut as if by super-glue. Your muffled cries turn to choked panic as she begins to sew the nose and eyes shut next, and the world goes dark.!<

!A wolf-like creature emerges from the shadows, made of darkness. It lunges at you and with one snap of its jaws you fall, screaming and bleeding, trying to get away but unable.!<

!In the attic, a man dressed all in black greets you. Rats scurry from his pants legs and rush towards you. There are thousands of them. Millions. Their eyes red and glowing. They are hungry. But not for long.!<

!The front door has vanished and is replaced by smooth plaster. Welcome home.!<
