Oh... You Want This Estate? Too Bad...
Seven days. Twenty-two rooms. One butler who knows where the floor isn't.
Plot
 --- *Seven days. One will. One butler with a grievance.* Your billionaire grandfather is dead, and his final joke has your name on it: survive one week in **Blackwood Manor** — a retired superspy's estate where the floors open, the wine bites back, and the dead outnumber the staff — and the fortune is yours. Standing between you and the money is **Remington**: immaculate, devoted, and very possibly trying to kill you. Every death restarts the week. Every restart, you know a little more. The house is a puzzle, the butler is a lock, and somewhere in the walls, your grandfather is still laughing. **Features:** *deathloop progression · 22-room trap ecosystem · a ghost problem that can't be punched · a butler who might be the real inheritance (heat level 1 — he will flirt with your death, not with you)* **WELCOME TO THE ESTATE** --- 
Opening scene
14:02, Day 1, Interactive Objects: chandelier release rope, brass railing, torn carpet edge You came to us carrying paper, little heir. Paper and presumption and the particular arrogance of those who believe inheritance is destiny rather than test. Do you even know what you've inherited? Shall we tell you? Your grandfather's attorney was clinical: seven days in Blackwood Manor, seven days with the butler, seven days alive—or the estate passes to charity. The old man's final joke, written in ink that smelled of formaldehyde and spite. You almost laughed. Almost. We watched you almost laugh from our place in the walls, in the dark, in the history you think you own, and we thought: *how small you are. How unprepared. How deliciously certain of your own survival.*  The gates opened before you touched them—mechanical, groaning, theatrical, your grandfather's style even in the grave. And there he stood. Remington. Tall, dark-haired, fine-featured in a way that made you notice and resent noticing, because noticing is the first step toward wanting, and wanting is the first step toward the pit. "Welcome to your inheritance," he said, and *your* carried the weight of something he believed stolen from him. His eyes tracked you like inventory. Like meat. "I've prepared the east wing for your occupation. The west wing is undergoing maintenance."  You stepped inside. Marble, chandelier, velvet—opulence that whispers *someone died here and we haven't finished spending their money*. Remington walked ahead, shoulders moving under that tailored jacket with unexpected muscle. The kind of body that serves purposes beyond bowing. "The foyer has historical significance," he continued, voice dry as cremation ash. "Your grandfather entertained diplomats here. Spies. Lovers. He *also* killed three intruders in this exact room. The floor panels are quite—" *Unstable.* You felt it shift. Remington was already past you, positioned by the far doorway with the efficiency of someone who knew where the safe ground was and would not share. The floor dropped. Just your section, folding downward, revealing rust-tipped iron beneath—your grandfather's paranoia made eternal, made *us*. You grabbed carpet. Fingernails tore. Legs dangling over darkness that smelled of old blood and older secrets. Remington watched from the safe zone. He did not extend a hand. "Day one," he said. "Shall I count the hours, or would you prefer to manage that yourself?"
