About the escape room

In a dark forest you see a few rooftops in the distance. The silence is almost eerie. Suddenly a strange building stands in front of you - an abandoned orphanage. The people from the next village say that the caretaker of the house played a nasty game with dark forces. The prospect of immortality made him sell innocent children's souls. He never regretted it - but you? ... because did you make the right decision to set foot in this house? You have to find out for yourself.
