It was morning already, and mark hurriedly, took his bath and left to go get something in the nearby supermarket.
Emily then woke up, talking a walk through the attic as she discovers a strange board game in the attic. As she plays, the game starts controlling her actions, forcing her to confront her deepest fears. The stakes are high, and losing the game means losing one's life.
Emily then manage to snap out of the game, and hurriedly ran for safety, she began to wonder what kind of a game is this that deals with one's emotions. Just as she was talking to herself, Mark returned and with a loud voice he said "honey am homeeee!!"
With a kiss and warm hug Emily welcomed Mark and said honey something happened today, Mark immediately said in a low tone oooo oooo not again.
Then Emily was grieved and kept quiet, Mark then brought out everything he bought, including Emily's favourite cupcake, with joy she hugged mark and kissed him again. Mark then said hope you are happy now.
Just as they both decided to have fun in the balcony, they heard a voice of a baby from the inner chamber and moving closer to see what was that Mark and Emily find themselves trapped in an ever-changing maze within the mansion's walls.
Each corridor holds a different terrifying challenge, and they must overcome their worst nightmares to find the way out. But as they progress, they realize that the maze is alive and feeds off their fears.
Just as they struggled to escape they parted ways and Emily on the other hand discovers an old piano from nowhere and starts playing haunting melodies. The music summons spirits from the afterlife, who manifest as ghostly apparitions. Emily must find a way to silence the music before she become trapped in the symphony of souls forever.
On the other hand while Mark was trying to solve the maze a vengeful spirit from the house's past targets Mark, blaming him for the sins committed by previous inhabitants. The spirit torments him relentlessly, driving him to the brink of madness.
From a distance Emily saw mark and shouted his not but he couldn't here her. To save Mark, Emily must unravel the spirit's tragic backstory and find a way to appease its wrath before mark could be restored back to himself.
Emily looking confused hurriedly remembered the book she saw at the attic and immediately opened it and start to chant the unravel spirit's eve. With a loud voice she began "oderint dum metuant ibi redibis non morieris bellozic sortes qui facit lem suit"
She continue in repeating the chant and suddenly a great shout arose saying no, his mine, I won't let him go!!
Then seeing it was becoming intense Emily raised her voice as high as she could and continued to chant the unravel spirit's eve "oderint dum metuant ibi redibis non morieris bellozic sortes qui facit lem suit"
Then a fire like substance sparked,then immediately Mark got himself and hastily ran to meet Emily. The maze then disappeared and the mysterious piano turned to a cabinet the everything in the room became normal as before.
Emily then broke down in tears saying I can't do this anymore mark we must leave, we must. The Mark said something shocking.
