Derceto Manor serves as the haunted setting where players choose between Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood to uncover a mystery. Navigating fixed camera viewpoints, you must use pistols, rifles, or melee weapons to combat monsters. Progressing through the mansion requires finding specific items to solve environmental puzzles and reading discovered documents to uncover clues.
