A Mother's Grief

A Mother’s Grief is a first-person horror investigation set inside an isolated cabin. In 1892, a woman named Elara lost her daughter Lily to a fever. Unable to accept the death, she attempted a forbidden ritual-and something answered. Eight years later, you enter the abandoned home to learn what happened. The truth is hidden among old rooms, ritual objects, and photographs that must be added to an evidence board. The cabin is small enough to explore carefully, but its narrow passages and flickering lights make every return trip uncomfortable.

Document the Haunting

Your investigation requires eight photographs of haunted objects. Known targets include Lily’s rag doll, a grimoire, a bone blade, and a pentagram. The remaining evidence must be discovered by searching the bedroom, kitchen, living room, fireplace area, and connecting hallway. Raise the camera when something looks suspicious and frame the object through its viewfinder. A successful photograph becomes evidence, but taking the picture is only part of the task. Return to the board and pin each photo in place to record what you found. The camera displays its remaining shots and battery level, so avoid photographing ordinary furniture. Save your film for objects connected to Lily and the ritual.

Get ready for the final battle

You don't start with any useful equipment, but you will find some in the cabin. Get the camera before you can record evidence. Get the book before you can open the journal. Get the lantern before you can use the flashlight. Read the journal for background info and check each room before continuing. If you remember where you have looked it is easier to find something that is lost. The last piece of evidence is the demon-child waiting by the bed. Take a picture of her, finish up the investigation and get the hell out of the cabin before the encounter turns on you.
