The game takes place in the year 1837 at the legendary Greifenstein Castle.
The Countess herself has invited you to assist her as an expert. Neither the bumpy carriage ride through the misty woods nor the locals' warnings can deter you. But what is the truth behind the rumors about the Countess not being seen for decades and that ghosts haunt the stone halls of Greifenstein?
Once you arrive at the castle, the old walls won't let you go. Only if you pass the trials of the Countess and prove yourself worthy, you can free her - and yourself - from the castle and lift the curse.
Go in search of the castle's mistress, examine her chambers for artifacts from your predecessors, rummage through the library for clues about the von Greifenstein family, discover mysterious relics in the castle courtyard, solve tricky puzzles in the family crypt, and even think beyond the castle - and the game. The ghosts will help you decipher witchcraft recipes, open folios, medallions and caskets, as well as the strange hourglass. Are you up for the task and can you free the Countess from her seemingly hopeless situation?
An atmospheric soundtrack, hand-drawn graphics and narrator texts set to music put you right into the eerie atmosphere.
Anything can be part of the game!
Accept the Countess' invitation and board the carriage!
