Lady Eleanor Codington, prominent friend of the Queen herself, has disappeared while renovating her family’s legendary estate. Explore the crumbling grounds of world-famous children’s author Gloria Codington for clues. A towering black mirror may reveal a secret, but gazing into its depths may bring more than just a few years of bad luck. Can you find Eleanor and escape the manor alive? Find out in this heart-pounding hidden-object puzzle adventure game!
In the past, Gloria Codington, the owner of a large estate, confronts an evil entity called the Shade, who resides in a large mirror. In the present, the Master Detective, learns her friend Eleanor Codington (Gloria's granddaughter) has gone missing while trying to reopen the estate. With the Queen's permission, she goes there to find her despite learning of the Shade's presence there. Inside a guard house, the detective meets Camille, a designer who works for Eleanor. The two work together to reach the estate's entrance, but Camille is captured by the Shade. Searching the manor for Eleanor and Camille, the detective finds the Shade's mirror but is caught by the entity and pulled into a mirrored reality. While traveling through the mirror dimension, the detective rescues a maid named Gemma and finds Eleanor, who reveals that doing a blood ritual on the mirror at the end of the mirror dimension allows them to escape and stop the Shade; however, it has to be the blood of a Codington. Upon finding the mirror, they perform the blood ritual, but nothing happens. They rescue Gemma a second time, who suddenly disappears, leaving a clue that reveals Eleanor isn't Gloria's descendant and that Gloria is the only one who can stop the Shade. They rescue Camille, who has been enslaved by the Shade, and find Gloria, who is under the Shade's spell. After freeing her, Gloria performs the blood ritual to destroy the Shade, but stays behind to destroy the mirror as Camille, Eleanor, and the detective escape back to the real world. In the Bonus Content, which takes place before the main game, Gordon Codington (Eleanor's ancestor), who had been recently sent away from home, returns to the estate and encounters Gemma's ghost, who directs him to the garden. He later learns Gemma is trapped in the estate by the Shade and can't move on until the Shade's curse is broken. After finding and repairing the Shade's mirror, the Shade is suddenly freed from its prison, having tricked Gordon into setting it free. It then tries to imprison Gordon in the mirror but he defeats the Shade and re-imprisons it in the mirror. It vows to return before Gordon shatters the mirror. Gordon then locks up the estate to ensure that the Shade will never be freed.

The chronicles of the Oooku, the women's quarters of Edo Castle, is remembered infamously in Japan as a classic kusoge, slang for a very bad video game. The story revolves around discourse between some of the women in the Oooku over the current shogun, which eventually leads to the player needing to endlessly search around a huge amount of empty rooms and withstand annoying load times as you interview people for their testimonies. There's spelling errors throughout the entire game, as well as typographical errors that have the Edo era characters speaking very modern at unexpected times. The graphics were criticized as especially ugly in 2008 when the PS3 was gaining popularity, and the narrative is hard to follow as the text moves automatically with no text log. Everything is timed, and knowing what to do next is very difficult without a guide. After gathering all your information throughout the year, you have a trial, which can result in different endings.
