The air hung thick with the scent of aged wood and rust as you stepped into the foyer of the crumbling manor, its doors slamming shut behind you with a finality that echoed through the hollow halls. A grandfather clock with no pendulum ticked soundlessly in the corner, its hands frozen at 3:33. Your eyes caught the glint of a brass key half-buried beneath a moth-eaten rug, but when you reached for it, the floorboards groaned—a hidden pressure plate triggered a cascade of locks clicking into place upstairs. A painting of a stormy seascape hid a cryptic message scrawled in charcoal: *"Seek the eye that never sleeps."* Down the dim corridor, a cabinet of mismatched porcelain dolls held a single glass eye nestled between their ranks, its iris shimmering under the beam of your flickering flashlight. The attic hatch, sealed by a padlock shaped like an octopus, devoured the key with a metallic hiss, revealing a ladder descending into a cellar reeking of damp soil. There, a wall of antique clocks—each set to different times—guarded a lever disguised as a pendulum. Pulling it sparked a shudder through the house, rotating a hidden bookshelf to expose a tunnel lined with faintly glowing symbols. But time twisted here: every misstep reversed progress, resetting puzzles, relocking doors. A music box in the parlor played a dissonant tune until its gears were rearranged to match the hum of the grandfather clock’s long-dead mechanism, silencing the haunting melody and spitting out a prism that split the beam of your light into a constellation on the wall—a star map pointing to a loose floorboard beneath the dining table. Inside lay a journal, its pages detailing the previous occupant’s descent into madness, scribbled with warnings about "the watcher in the walls." Your fingers brushed a cold, smooth stone embedded in the fireplace—a fossilized eye socket that fit the glass artifact perfectly. The house shuddered again, walls bleeding black ink as a final door materialized, its lock a shifting puzzle of concentric rings etched with phases of the moon. Aligning them by the faint light filtering through a crack in the boarded-up window triggered a deafening groan, the door creaking open to reveal twilight—freedom inches away. But the house wasn’t done: a shadow detached itself from the wall, whispering *"Leave the key…"* as the exit began to seal. Throw the key into the darkness, and the jaws of the doorway froze—a split-second choice between escape and becoming another permanent fixture in the manor’s grim collection.
