The setting is: you‘re a writer that moved from NY to the Scottish highlands. Into an old manor. It is shortly before Christmas.
In the lounge we fall asleep and have a weird nightmare. Waking up we wonder if this was someone else’s experience, from long ago.
After getting up from the sleep we enter the bedroom, called the solar. Cora is there. Conversations are menu driven in this game.
We further explore the house. In the bathroom we find an intricate Celtic knot with garnets.
Outside we find a dovecote. The same as we saw in our dream. There is a spot where something is buried but we don’t have a shovel.
Back in Blackwood Manor: We managed to find a spade and found a key in the spot we saw in our dreams!
