A Puzzle of History and Mystery

As players dive deeper into their role at The Whitaker’s Library, they are not merely packing away books but are drawn into a detective-like inquiry into the fall of the Whitaker family. The game mechanics, involving basic navigation with WASD and interaction with objects using LMB, become tools for uncovering hidden documents, secret messages, and eerie correspondences that shed light on the family’s secrets. This exploration is framed within the commands of James Whitaker, whose presence is felt through notes and directives that guide the player’s journey through the library’s quiet halls. With each discovery, the task transforms into a compelling investigation, where the stakes are as personal as they are historical. Players must use their wits and intuition to decide which pieces of information to pursue and which might be too perilous to disturb, making each playthrough a unique narrative experience.
