**Midnight Manor: Shadows of the Harvest** Beneath a blood-red moon, an ancient manor looms atop Whisper Hill, its jagged silhouette clawing at the sky. The air reeks of decayed pumpkins and damp earth. A rusted iron gate creaks open, revealing a cobblestone path littered with skeletal leaves. The rules are simple: solve the manor’s puzzles before midnight, or join the spirits trapped within its walls. Your first challenge waits in the foyer—a lantern with a shattered lens, its candle unlit. Scattered across a moth-eaten rug are shards of glass etched with symbols: a crescent moon, a raven’s claw, a wilted rose. Assemble them correctly, and the lantern flares to life, casting fractured shadows that twist into a map on the wall. Follow the shadow-raven’s gaze to the library, where a leather-bound book lies chained to a pedestal. The key? A riddle whispered by the fireplace: *“I speak without a mouth, vanish without light, answer me correctly, and I’ll serve you tonight.”* The answer—*an echo*—shatters the chains. Inside the book, pages writhe with invisible ink. Hold them over the lantern’s flame, and crimson letters emerge: *“Seek the portrait with hollow eyes.”* Upstairs, a gallery of paintings stares back. One portrait lacks irises—a woman clutching a locket. Press the locket’s outline, and a hidden compartment clicks open, revealing a bone key slick with cobwebs. Beneath the manor, a cellar reeks of rot. The key unlocks a iron door, revealing a circular chamber. Twelve pumpkins line the walls, each carved with a zodiac sign. At the center, a cauldron bubbles with black liquid. A spectral voice hisses: *“Feed the correct three, or drown in the brew.”* Cross-referencing the book’s astrological clues, you toss Scorpio, Cancer, and Libra into the cauldron. The liquid solidifies into a staircase descending into pitch blackness. The final room pulses with a greenish glow. A massive hourglass drains rapidly, its sand hissing like serpents. Across the wall, a mosaic of a phoenix lies incomplete—its missing pieces hidden among dangling skeletons. Slot the final shard into place, and the phoenix ignites, incinerating the curse. The manor groans, walls crumbling as dawn’s first light fractures the night. You emerge, breathless, clutching a single black rose—proof of your escape. But the wind carries a warning: *“The manor rebuilds itself… until next harvest.”*
