Inventory and puzzle mechanics
Progress through the eerie house requires careful observation and smart inventory management. When you collect an object, it sits in your bottom tray until you find its matching lock or environmental puzzle. Certain cabinets require physical keys, while other devices require you to decipher codes hidden in the background artwork. If a puzzle leaves you uncertain of the next step, clicking the question mark icon offers guidance so you can keep moving forward.

Tips and strategy
- Scrutinize background art: Odd symbols or marks on paintings often conceal numerical codes needed for locked chests.
- Pick up everything you find: Every accessible item has a specific purpose and will eventually open a locked passage or mechanism.
- Revisit previous rooms: Finding a fresh tool frequently lets you unlock drawers or doors you could not open earlier.
- Experiment before using hints: Test collected items on questionable mechanisms first, saving the question mark icon for when you are genuinely stuck.
