The Victorian haunted mansion comes alive in Episode 4: walls crack, rooms shift, and Samuel's hidden diary reveals the truth behind a century of horror. Designed for 1-4 players, this printable gothic horror escape room delivers 1-2 hours of terror and twisted revelations. 

Spreading cracks. Shifting rooms. An ancient evil awakening.

Decay plunges into full Victorian horror as the manor itself becomes the enemy. The house is no longer just haunted, it's alive and dying. Walls crack and bleed, rooms shift and distort, and something ancient stirs beneath the floors. As you uncover deeper layers of the Rutherford family's curse, you'll confront twisted clues, distorted memories, and disturbing truths. Most critically, you'll discover Samuel's hidden diary, revealing the butler's century-long secrets, his true nature, and the horrifying choices that doomed the Rutherford family. This is the fourth chapter in a five-part gothic horror series where the Victorian mystery reaches its darkest depths.

Perfect for horror enthusiasts, haunted house fans, escape room players, or anyone captivated by the escalating terror. Play solo or with your group, no game master needed.
