How It Begins
The old house on Sycamore Street has been many things in its long history. Once upon a time it was a finishing school for rich young ladies. Later it become a brothel for rich young gentlemen. In recent memory it has been a guest house and then an old people's home. The property is currently for sale.
Through it all, this house held a dark secret.
If people spoke at all about the house, they looked about in quick movements and spoke in hushed tones. They would tell of a long corridor at the very top of the house. A corridor with a locked door at the end; a locked door with no key. Of the room beyond the locked door; a room with only one door and no window. A room with a dark secret.
Our style guide prefers short summaries, not long textdumps that quote from the game.
