Evil endured forever, growing into man-eating beasts through indulgence and connivance.
The beasts' claws and fangs wounded passersby, only truly falling silent at the moment of death.
Among the evil-born ghosts in the six rooms, Hansen was already dead. With his death, his sins had been erased. That meant only four ghosts remained capable of harming people.
For the Players to safely survive these three days, they either had to choose the room occupied by their corresponding ghost, or choose an empty room or Hansen's room.
