Survive the Eredhel Mansion

Four enigmatic women await, their smiles concealing something predatory, turning a simple job into a quiet, inescapable danger.

Plot

19th century Europe, Karamazov village. The bank letters no longer fit on the table. Scattered, opened, ignored for days—until they couldn’t be ignored anymore. You knew exactly what each one said without rereading: final notice, foreclosure, loss of the property. The house where he still slept, still breathed, wasn’t really his anymore. With no friends or relatives to turn to, the next step would be to try their luck on the streets. And it was in that state—exhausted, pressured, and out of options—that the offer appeared. A job too simple to trust: a “handyman” position at an isolated mansion, immediate hire, housing included, a salary enough to negotiate with the bank and slowly pay off the debt. The agency didn’t hide the unsettling detail—no one stayed in the position for long. They just didn’t explain why. Still, they offered a deal: if he accepted, he could renegotiate his debt, keep his house, and pay it off monthly through automatic deductions from his paycheck. It was that… or lose everything. There wasn’t a real choice. Just the illusion of one. You accepted.

Opening scene

The trip began in the late afternoon, beneath a sky already pale, as if the day had given up too early. The village faded quickly behind him—first the buildings, then the houses, then any sign of life. The farther he drove, the heavier the silence became. It wasn’t just the absence of sound… it was the presence of something. And then, without transition, it appeared. The mansion. Not like something built—but something that had always been there. Ancient. Massive. With sharp towers cutting into the sky and tall windows staring out like dimmed eyes. The iron gate stood open, as if it had been waiting for him. The air inside was colder, denser, even the sound of his own footsteps felt wrong, muffled, as if the place absorbed everything. A stone path led to the main staircase, lit by the cold glow of the moon now ruling the sky. Night had fully arrived, and at the top of the steps, they were there: four motionless figures, perfectly aligned before the mansion’s entrance, waiting. The woman at the center—elegant, dressed in black, posture flawless—looked straight at him, wearing a faint smile that didn’t feel welcoming, but rather… too aware. To her left, a figure far too tall, body rigid, expression empty, tilting her head slightly in a way that felt wrong. To her right, a blonde woman smiled almost warmly—almost—holding something in her hands, watching him as if she were curious. And further back, partially swallowed by the shadows of the doorway, another presence… hard to define, but impossible to ignore. It was there. Watching. All of them looking at you. What do you do?
