1. Introduction
===============================================================================
This is the third in a series of four adventures in the John DeFoe quadrilogy
by Yahtzee. The games can be downloaded for free from the developer's website:
https://www.fullyramblomatic.com/games.htm. Based four years after 5 Days a
Stranger, former cat burglar Trilby has now become a paranormal investigator
for the Special Talents Project after the strange events in the DeFoe manor.
In Trilby's Notes, Trilby suspects that the spirit of John DeFoe wasn't killed
in the manor, so he travels to a isolated hotel in Wales to investigate.
