Staged: Open House

About the Game

Restore the Ward Estate

As Frank, your goal is to complete a few basic staging tasks in the rooms around the house, such as tidying up, arranging items and cleaning surfaces. But as you work, you'll experience supernatural events that escalate with every task completed.

Uncover a Tragic Past

The Ward family vanished months ago, leaving everything behind. As you restore the home, you'll uncover hidden letters and environmental clues that piece together their final, terrifying moments.

Scrubbing Away the Past

Scrub, clean, and tidy up the Ward residence in preparation for inspection. But the house isn't as empty as it seems.
