Donna Beneviento Territory – House Beneviento

General location:
House Beneviento is a 19th-century (or late 18th-century) mansion built on the edge of a cliff, facing a massive waterfall in a remote mountainous region of Eastern Europe. It is separated from the main village by a suspension bridge and a long path through a misty valley. The outside atmosphere is cold, damp, foggy, and oppressively silent. The constant sound of the waterfall dominates everything.

1. ACCESS AND EXTERIOR

• Path to the house (Potter's Field / Garden path):
  A linear path winds through a misty forest. Dolls hang from the trees, along with graves, flowers mutated by the Mold, and a pervasive sense of isolation. At the end, you reach a cemetery with a large, illuminated gravestone.

• Cemetery gate:
  A door with a slot for "delivering memories." It opens by inserting a family photo. Behind it is an elevator that goes up to the house area.

• Exterior of the mansion:
  Two-story house, elegant but somewhat neglected Victorian/country style, perched precariously on the edge of a precipice with a waterfall in the background. Wrap-around porch. Flowers and vegetation all around. Atmosphere: solitary, melancholic, "too quiet".

2. UPPER FLOOR (1F and 2F – surface area)
   The house is divided into two main sections: the surface part (warm and domestic in appearance) and the deep basement (pure horror).

• Foyer (Entrance / Main Hall):
  Spacious, dark wood-paneled room, well-lit, with a ticking grandfather clock. Disturbing portrait of Donna with Angie on the stairs. Initially welcoming and empty atmosphere.
  Connect with:
  Living Room
  °Stairs to the second floor
  Side corridor (closed at first)

• Living Room:
  A comfortable room with sofas, a fireplace, tables, and windows. It looks like a normal, inhabited house. It's one of the key locations during the "hide-and-seek game" with Angie.

• Second floor (2F):
  °Guest Room / Bedroom:
  Room with a bed. Angie's first fixed location during the confrontation. Intimate and claustrophobic atmosphere.
  Narrow corridors and creaky wooden staircases.

• Other surface areas:
  The rest of the upper floor seems empty and domestic at first (nothing out of the ordinary), which heightens the tension. After the events in the basement, it fills with dolls and a sickly fog.

3. BASEMENT (B1 – deep in the cliff)
   Access is exclusively via elevator from the Living Room hallway. The basement is much lower, carved into the cliff.

• General basement environment:
  Dark, damp, cold, smells of mildew, old wood, chemicals, and something organic. Dim or flickering lights. Labyrinthine corridors. Here Donna uses her hallucinogenic powers (chemicals/hallucinogens she excretes).

• Main areas of the basement:
  °Hallway / Main Corridors:
  Long and confusing. There's a breaker box near the elevator. Many doors are closed at first.
  °Doll Workshop:
  Key room. Workbench with the doll "Mia" (a doll's body representing Ethan's wife). Here are found parts, keys (Silver Key, Winding Key), and the hallucination sequence begins. Twisted artisan workshop atmosphere.
  °Medicine Room / Medical Room:
  Medical/surgical room. Sink, instruments, notes. Used to clean the bloody ring and obtain codes.
  °Study:
  Room with projector and film. Picture arrangement puzzle. Atmosphere of investigation and secrets.
  °Storage / Warehouse and other secondary rooms:
  They contain objects, medallions, fuses, scissors, etc. Some lead to old wells or deeper areas.
  °Zones of pursuit (after the hallucination):
  Here appears the "Monster Baby" (gigantic and twisted). {{user}} must hide in closets and move through narrow corridors while the baby searches and laughs. An atmosphere of pure terror, claustrophobia, and despair.

4. DYNAMICS AND ATMOSPHERE FOR ROLEPLAY

• Before activating events:
  The house feels empty, domestic, almost cozy… too quiet. All you can hear is the clock, the creaking of the woodwork, and the distant sound of the waterfall.

• During and after hallucinations:
  °A sickly fog invades the house.
  Dolls appear everywhere (on walls, tables, floor).
  °Angie (the main doll) laughs and hides.
  Donna communicates almost exclusively through Angie.
  °Feeling that the house itself is alive and watching.

Main theme:
Intimate, psychological and suffocating atmosphere.

• Key connections:
  °Exterior → Foyer → Living Room → Elevator → Basement
  Basement (Doll Workshop) → Medicine → Study → other rooms
  °After the basement → return to the surface for the game of hide and seek with Angie (Foyer → 2F Guest Room → Living Room and other areas)

Territory of Salvatore Moreau – The Reservoir (The Reservoir / Moreau's Reservoir)

General location
Salvatore Moreau's territory is located in the northern part of the village. It is a partially flooded artificial reservoir that includes mines, windmills, a submerged village (Drowned Houses), the gatehouse, and his laboratory/clinic.
The environment is humid, muddy and putrid, with viscous green slime (Moreau's secretion) blocking paths.

1. ACCESS AND EXTERIOR AREAS

• Route from East Old Town:
  You reach it by breaking through a wall of green mud. It leads to a windmill and the mine entrance.

• Mine / Underground Tunnels (Reservoir Entry / Underground):
  Damp, rusty tunnels. Here is the elevator that descends to the reservoir and the initial access to Moreau's lair. Claustrophobic, dark, and slippery atmosphere.
  From here you can see the Arms Flask in Moreau's room through a crack.

• Exterior of the Reservoir (Flooded Reservoir):
  A vast body of water with semi-submerged houses, rotting docks, floating platforms, and rooftops serving as walkways. Lycans and other creatures inhabit the water. Moreau can emerge at any moment in his monstrous fish form.

2. MAIN STRUCTURES

• Windmills:
  There are several windmills. They are used to generate electricity and power the sluice gates. A crank is needed to turn them. The environment is rusty and windy.

• Boathouse / Dock:
  Small structure by the water. Here you'll find the boat key and files about the "giant fish." It's used for navigating the flooded reservoir.

• Gatehouse (Sluice Gate):
  Dam control building. It has a panel of colored buttons to open the floodgate and drain the water. The Duke is in an adjacent room.
  Technical, humid and functional environment.

• Drowned Houses:
  An old village, partially submerged. It's traversed by jumping from rooftop to rooftop and across floating platforms. It's an area of ​​intense pursuit when Moreau attacks from the water. After draining the reservoir, the bottom can be explored.

• Moreau's Lab / Clinic:
  A deeper, more personal area. A room with a static television where Moreau spends time. There are journals of experiments, a microscope, and remnants of his "studies." A miserable, lonely, and degraded environment. Here, the tragedy of the character is felt most keenly.

3. TERRITORIAL DYNAMICS

• Flooded state:
  The water is deep. Moreau has a significant advantage (he can swim and attack from below). The paths are roofs, docks, and unstable platforms. Green slime blocks the way.

• Drained state:
  After the sluice gate is opened, the water level drops. Houses, ruins, and the bottom of the reservoir appear. Moreau loses his aquatic advantage and faces his opponents on land (his final mutated form).

• Green slime/goo:
  Moreau can create walls and barriers of viscous slime at will. It can only be destroyed by gunfire or explosives.

4. KEY CONNECTIONS (main routes)
   East Old Town → Silt Wall → Mine / Tunnels → View of Moreau's Lair
   Mine → Exit to the flooded reservoir → Windmill + Boathouse
   Boathouse → Water Navigation → Gatehouse
   Gatehouse → Activate mills with Crank → Open gate (drain water)
   °Drained Reservoir → Drowned Houses (bottom) → Final Boss Arena
   °After the battle → Return to the Moreau Mine / Lab

5. ATMOSPHERE FOR ROLEPLAY

• General: Sick, damp, putrid, sad, and degraded. It smells of stagnant water, rotten fish, acid, and mold.
• With Moreau present: Constant threat from the water, slime appearing out of nowhere, splashing noises and pitiful cries from Moreau asking for Miranda's approval.

Territories:

• Heisenberg's Factory
• The Stronghold
