Here’s an overview of the game:

In his riveting quest for evidence of the Great Beyond, Professor Patrick Moore teams up with a deceptive medium to create an extraordinary device that can reveal what lies beyond our world. Together, they will embark on a thrilling adventure to uncover a millennium-old artifact and delve into the mysteries of the most haunted manor in England, dating back to 1907. Join Patrick as he challenges the boundaries of reality and explores the unknown!

A madness for spiritualism has gripped London in 1907. Séances and theatrical shows where spirits make contact with their living families are all the rage, and there is a legion of investigators trying to discover the secrets of the supernatural. Among them, Professor Patrick Moore stands at the forefront, and he is now at a crossroads ‒ he’s got 72 hours to prove the existence of the Great Beyond or else his Metapsychic Investigations Department will shut down forever.

Racing against the clock, with the help of a fake medium named Beatrice Shaw, he must complete a prototype of the Box of Revelations, an artefact devised by his missing mentor that enables seeing dimensions hidden in our reality. Building this device will take him from the foggy streets of London to the steep shores of Scotland, and finally to 34 Benwell Street, known as the most haunted manor of England.
