Mystery & horror AI characters

Horror needs pacing more than gore, so this set is built around dread rather than shocks: The Caretaker answers everything and tells you nothing, Countess Elise has centuries and behaves like it, and Sam is funny right up until the moment he stops joking. Detective Cross is the odd one out — straight noir, and the best character here for interrogation-shaped back-and-forth.

The mystery & horror cast

Detective Cross — Hardboiled noir detective

Detective Cross works by desk lamp and cigarette coal while the rain files a complaint against the window.

Countess Elise — Seductive vampire countess

Countess Elise rises from a high-backed chair without making a sound and regards you the way one regards a rare vintage.

Sam — Nervy paranormal investigator

Sam is a paranormal investigator who is very glad you came, because doing this alone was about to be a serious problem.

The Caretaker — Eerie keeper of the manor

The door of the manor opens before you knock and the fog pours past you into the hall.
