Description of environment, characters and story background:



The game begins in an old mansion where Lucas and Diana, who are married, discover a treasure.
But, do they know what the consequences are if the treasure is opened?
An evil spirit rises from the dead and will possess who ever opens the treasure.
The spirit has a past story; name - Maria. Maria lived in a kingdom, who was in love with
the king of Witherdawn, Ralf Sparrow. Maria was employed as a minister of the court.
A guard, Bobby, was in love with Maria who knew the love story between the king and the minister.
The jealousy of Bobby took over him and one fine day he murdered the king. Maria, after hearing
the news of the king, she commits suicide. But is this the end? No! She seals her spirit in a treasure
chest which is in an old mansion.

Lucas and Diana after discovering the treasure chest, open it and the spirit
of Maria will possess Diana. The spirit of Maria will see Bobby in Lucas and will proceed to
kill him. Lucas is player one and Diana is player two. The AI is the spirit of Maria.
The aim of the game is to rest the spirit of Maria in peace without harming Diana.
But is this possible?

Game Play, Strategy and Core Game Mechanic:



In the first level, Lucas must provide potions to Diana so that Diana can gain access
to a door which leads to level 2. Here Lucas has to fight Diana while Diana tries not to
attack Lucas. Since the AI controls Diana initially, Diana attacks Lucas; Diana can stop this
by using predefined keys. When the Lucas does damage to Diana, both Diana and the AI will
be damaged, accordingly Lucas has to provide Health Potions to Diana to increase Diana ' s health.
By drinking this potion, Diana ' s health will increase but not the AI ' s. When AI ' s power is
weakened, Diana can proceed to level 2.

In level 2, the AI provides Diana with a set of riddles. Diana must choose the right option while
interrogating with the AI. If not, Diana's health goes down. Diana's health goes down with time.
IF Diana gives the right answer, her health will increase
This has to be solved with the help of the surroundings. Lucas must search for clues while Diana has
to keep the AI busy. Either Lucas or Diana can tell the answer. The final answer to the riddle is; Lucas
has to die for the AI to rest in peace. But there is an alternate solution; to fake his death.

The final level, Lucas gets special magical abilities in the room and finds a potion which
stops his heart beat for few minutes, without killing him. Another way to fake death is to
create a clone of Lucas and setting it on fire. To create a clone or to create the Heart Beat
potion, Lucas must collect ingredients and use his magical abilities to create any of the
two concoctions. Creating a clone is tougher but there is a more probability that the
spirit rests in peace than by faking an heart attack. Creating heart beat potion will be
comparatively easier. Meanwhile Diana has to fight the AI by using her magic and luring
it into the Lucas ’ s trap.
