Timeline of Events

This page explains the timline of events from when Fred meets Alexander to the moment the player steps into the mansion.

May 22 1916
 Fred meets Alexander during a business trip to New Hampshire. Invites him over for party on 23 June 1916.



June 23 1916
 Day of the party. Alexander becomes talk of the party with his stories of adventures and physical feats. Fred invites him to stay over before he has to leave for London in July. Alexander accepts invitation and is allowed free use of the house for his studies. Alexander spends most of the time cooped up in the study, writing on the typewriter or his journal. At times, he would be seen in the library or locking himself up in a room in the basement.



Sometime between June 23 1916 –July 27 1916
 Irene has an affair with Alexander. Fred finds out after one of the servants tips him off.



July 28 1916
 Fred decides to confront Alexander in one of the basement chambers of the mansion. Things get violent and Fred tries to kill Alexander. Using a cursed dagger, Alexander stabs Fred and traps his soul in the dagger. He then disposes his body in the marshes near the mansion. Until today, the whereabouts of the body is still unknown. Crime goes on undetected by anyone. Alexander told Irene that Fred will not be back anytime soon as he has to leave for an urgent business trip to Boston.



July 29 1916
 Alexander misses his ship to London. Instead, went to town and buys several full-body mirrors. Mirrors are set up in the room where Fred was killed. Using magic, Alexander channels Fred’s soul from the cursed dagger and into the mirrors, cursing him to be bound to the walls of the mansion and haunting it till eternity. This would also mean that Fred’s ghost can only manifest itself using mirrors. Alexander instructs the servants to hide or cover all the mirrors in the house, citing that it channelled bad energy that is detrimental to his esoteric studies. Everyone complied with this strange request out of respect.



July 30 1916 to sometime middle August 1916
 Alexander continues to live in the mansion until sometime middle August 1916. He spent this time to induct Irene into his cult. He names himself the priest of this cult and she would be his “Scarlet Princess”. This promise of danger and adventure enticed the naïve Irene. Sometime in middle August, the servants woke up to find that both Alexander and Irene have disappeared in a hurry with everything in a mess. The police were alerted of the trio’s disappearance.

August 1916 – March 1918
 Not much is known of Alexander’s and Irene’s fate during this time. Police searches have returned no result. There were many false sightings, the last being an alleged sighting of Alexander at Boston Harbor, boarding a ship to London. It is not known whether it is a verified sighting.



 A warrant had been out for Alexander for his suspected involvement in the disappearance of Fred.



 In the meantime, the mansion falls into disarray. The servants were sent back and the mansion was repossessed. The servants were more than happy to leave as they reportedly heard screams at night and saw things in the mirror when they were alone. They also claimed to hear Fred’s voice calling out for help sometimes.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal"> Irene showed up at her sister’s house in New Jersey at the height of the Spanish flu. She appeared dishevelled, wearing a torn red dress and refused to speak. Her sister’s family tried their best to nurse her back to health, but Irene never fully recovered. The pandemic complicated investigations and eventually, the whole issue was forgotten.
