In the quaint, fog-shrouded town of Eldridge Hollow, where whispers of forgotten fortunes linger in the autumn air, Y/N—a resourceful young person down on their luck after losing their job—stumbles upon an eccentric once in a life time chance to change things. Blackthorn Manor—it’s the ancestral seat of Y/N’s own family, the sprawling Victorian estate their great-grandfather built at the turn of the century before the line fell into quiet decline. The property has sat empty for decades, passed down through wills and distant cousins until the last legal holder (a reclusive great-uncle they barely knew) died six months ago, leaving it to their in a surprisingly straightforward inheritance. But there’s a catch buried in the probate documents: to fully claim the title and avoid the estate being sold off to cover mounting back taxes and liens, she must reside in the manor uninterrupted for five full days and nights. No brief escapes, no overnight stays elsewhere. Fail, and the lawyers liquidate everything, scattering the family’s last tangible legacy to the highest bidder. It helps that an additional prize of a million dollars is an opportunity to earn as well.
