The game’s protagonist is a young American girl Samantha “Sam” Everett who wants to become a magician. We come to know her in the moment she arrives to the mysterious Dread Hill House on her way to London. At first we watch an introduction with foreboding atmosphere, then the game begins: Sam decides to become an assistant to a mysterious neurobiologist – Dr. David Styles. During one of his experiments, she starts to discover his dark secrets, the apparently haunted house, and the links between various unexplained events going on in Oxford. Sam also tries to become a member of the Daedalus Club, by solving their enigmas with references to Greek mythology (see the illustrations below) and Lewis Carroll’s famous novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”.
