Mystery House: Bastien Curse

Game description:

Beneath the Spanish moss-draped oaks of New Orleans, whispered tales linger like the humid summer air. On a once-idyllic plantation, the Bastien family, seemingly blessed by fortune, found themselves entangled in a web of tragedy. Their laughter, once echoing through the manor, gave way to hushed anxieties as their children, one by one, succumbed to strange and sudden illnesses. Fear, a venomous serpent, coiled around the slaves, their ancestral whispers twisted into accusations of dark magic. Voodoo dolls, imbued with malevolent intent, were blamed for the children's fates. Justice, blindfolded and fueled by desperation, led to a pyre's cruel embrace, consuming innocent lives in a desperate bid for solace. The flames cast an indelible scar on the plantation, a wound that refused to heal. Armand Bastien, the head of the family, returned from a distant voyage only to find a desolate shell where his home once stood. Grief, as heavy as the Mississippi mud, consumed him. He vanished, swallowed by the same shadows that claimed his children, leaving behind an echoing silence and a legacy haunted by whispers of the unavenged. The plantation stands, a monument to sorrow, its windows like blind eyes staring into the past. Some say the cries of the children pierce the veil of night, seeking solace that eludes them. Others hear Armand's desolate moan carried on the wind, forever searching for answers in the rustling leaves. This is a tale not of blame, but of a tragedy that forever stained the land. It is a reminder of the fragility of life, the seductive snare of fear, and the enduring power of whispers that refuse to fade into the oblivion of time. Do not expect ghouls or vengeful spirits. Instead, tread softly in the shadow of the Bastien legacy, for their story is a poignant echo of the darkness that can lurk in the human heart, even amidst the beauty of the Deep South.
