Old House
| ||||||||||||||||
The Old House is a big, western-style house found within Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, inside the Purple Diary. The player first encounters Maya there, and explores it during a small number of "illusion" sequences. This is also the house in which the Woman in Black dwells. People who find the diary begin to explore this house in dreams and visions, and eventually become trapped there when the curse takes hold.
When the house existed in the real world, Maya spent a great deal of time there in seclusion from the outside world. All year round, the house was bound in clematis vines which did not wither even during winter. This is where the villagers came to find Maya after she attempted to run away, and the ritual was performed here. After the ceremony failed, Maya woke in the house with memories of nothing but her own name.
Very little about the house is known. Several rooms are seen during trailers and cutscenes, and during Spirit House mode, but it cannot be freely explored during gameplay. It is also unclear to whom it belongs. It is possible that the house is located in Northeastern Japan, since Another Story lists the legend of the Tokoyomi Ritual alongside other legends about rituals in the same area, including the Strangling Ritual, the Crimson Sacrifice Ritual, and the Piercing of the Soul.[1]
