01 / THE GUIDE
Observe Environmental Details
Spend a few minutes in each room noting the placement of furniture, candlelight, and dust. Comparing these details across rooms can reveal thematic connections that hint at underlying memories.
- Observe each object closely; they may hint at the memory it contains.
- Take your time with the candlelit rooms to notice subtle visual cues.

Compare Card Glyphs
When you encounter multiple cards, line them up mentally or on paper. Look for recurring symbols that may indicate a pattern or a larger question the house is prompting.
- Use cards sparingly to avoid pressing too far.
- Listen to the house’s reactions; they guide how far to probe.

- Play in a dimly lit room to match the game’s candlelit aesthetic.
