The Cabinets of Doctor Arcana

On a dark and stormy Halloween night, you find yourself standing before the gothic gates of Doctor Arcana, the world famous magician who vanished several years ago. A strange force compels you to find a way in, but as soon as you set foot inside the mansion, the door slams shut behind you, sealing you inside. A ghostly vision appears before you, presenting you with a challenge: Resolve a maze of riddles and perplexing puzzles, or be doomed to spend eternity locked inside the inescapable mansion. Do you dare accept the deadly challenge to discover the secrets that lie within the cabinets of Doctor Arcana? Once you begin, there’s no turning back.
