After the events at Fate's Carnival, the Master Detective travels back to Ravenhearst Manor, as freeing Emma Ravenhearst's soul has also released the bonds of Charles Dalimar, her murderer. Upon opening the gates of the Manor, Emma's ghost appears to the Detective; though she is grateful for being released, she warns that other spirits are still bound within the walls of the decrepit mansion, and that Charles will soon return. She tells the Detective of a secret passage hidden within the mansion; after entering through a window, the sleuth discovers this passage and travels to the basement. There, the soul of Rose Somerset, Emma's maid, manifests and begs to be freed from the manor's walls. The Detective next discovers a set of three sealed doors, each of which is connected to a strange mechanism that is pumping a green fluid through the mansion. After entering the first door, the Detective finds a strange subterranean complex which Charles used to imprison Rose during her time at Ravenhearst; to further spite her, he developed the complex into a ghost town modeled after the Wild West and mockingly named it "Roseville." While exploring, the Detective discovers various clues about the mansion's past, including a poster reporting the disappearance of Rose and her twins, news of Rose's husband Reginald holding an open-casket funeral for his missing family, and correspondence from the Ravenhearst family that tells of Emma's father's death from a pox. After solving various puzzles, the Detective finds Rose's coffin, which is linked to the same type of device seen mounted on the main doors of the basement. Unlocking the coffin stops the flow of the green fluid and releases Rose's spirit. She thanks the Detective for rescuing her, and asks for help in finding her lost twin daughters, Gwendolyn and Charlotte.
