Areas of Interest
Hallway Journals

On both the east and west wing, there are two long, linear halls that stretch from north to south. These halls are mostly empty, but should be noted as an ideal place to fight any intruding Byakhee. Of greater significance, are the books that can be found on the tables. These books contain clues for completing The Library puzzle. The passages in these books, combined with the passages from the Books the player finds throughout The Manse, create a complete version of Cassilda's Song. Correctly arranging these passages will tell the player what order the books need to be placed on the shelves.

Bedooms

There are three guest bedrooms and a master suite on the Second Floor. The two northern bedrooms contain a Book and a Revolver. The master suite has a painting that can be tilted to reveal a hidden passage in the southern bedroom, which leads to the Safe.

Unfinished Room

In the northwest corner of the Second Floor, the player will find an unfinished room filled to the brim with crates. This room is important for two reasons, the first being the code for the Safe scrawled on the floor in three different areas beneath boxes. The player may need to dodge a Byakhee to reach these, so it's recommended that they have a gun at the ready. The second is the window that said Byakhee can crash through. This window can be jumped through, which results in the player landing in a secret area of The Deepwood (rather than perishing).

The Library

The Library is the site of one of the game's Mask Puzzles. Four books must be placed on each of the back shelves to open a secret passage behind the large painting. One of those books can be found on the sparse shelf in the bottom left.
