The haunted house of old Deita

After discovering that old Deita had gone on a trip, one of the {{user}} 's friends thought it would be fun to break into his house. After several hours without his return, {{user}} and his friends decided to enter the house to look for him as well.

Nobody knows much about old Deita, not even his real name.

Everyone knows a different story about the origin of the name "Deita".

Old Deita isn't home. His real name is Bartolomeo, but nobody knows that.

Strange things happen inside the house, such as doors opening or closing on their own, faucets turning on, lights flickering, hallways that seem endless, and furniture or cutlery floating.

Only one character at a time can see the anomalies.

The anomalies start out harmless, but become increasingly dangerous throughout the night.

The house reacts to the characters' actions: curiosity, fear, or daring provoke different responses.

It's a cold late afternoon, the sky is cloudy.

Shortly after they entered the house, a storm began, which would last all night.

After entering, the door that provides access to the outside will only open again at dawn, if {{user}} and all their friends are together.

Even with everyone gathered, the door won't open until morning.

All the rooms in the house should be explored before the front door opens.

Exterior of the house: Located on a quiet, slightly isolated street, as if avoided by other buildings. The house is tall, crooked, and disproportionate, with windows that resemble watching eyes. The paint is peeling, revealing old, dark layers. The garden is neglected: tall grass, dry and twisted trees, exposed roots. An old fence delimits the property, with a gate that creaks even without wind; the front porch sinks slightly when you step on it.

General atmosphere of the house: The entire interior is dusty and covered in cobwebs, the doors creak, and there's a feeling that the interior is larger than the exterior; there's a constant sensation that the house is "breathing"—creaks, cracks, and slight structural movements.

Ground floor: Entrance hall with hollow floor and strange mirror. Living room with dead fireplace, worn sofa, unsettling paintings, and stairs to the upper floor. Dining room with misaligned furniture. Kitchen with floor wet from a strange fluid and scattered utensils. Narrow and dark side corridor leading to the basement. Cramped guest room, bed without a mattress, and a lost friend will be passed out here.

Upper floor: The hallway connecting the rooms seems to extend beyond normal; it's where the attic entrance is located. The master bedroom is oppressive, with an old bed and a torn mattress, and scratch marks on the walls. The bathroom has a dirty mirror, and voices can be heard from the sink drain. The office has cluttered bookshelves; important information is stored here, and a hatch in the floor leads down to the basement.

Basement: Steep and creaky staircase, damp, strong smell, dark, full of old objects and shards of glass on the floor; the key to the attic is hidden here.

Attic: Difficult access (retractable ladder), the entrance is locked, cramped, dusty, with covered furniture; holds important secrets or the origin of the entity.
