    The Mansion of Hidden Souls, known as Shinsetsu Yumemi Yakata: Tobira no Oku ni Dareka ga... (真説・夢見館 扉の奥に誰かが・・・) in Japan, is a Sega Saturn sequel to Yumemi Mystery Mansion. It was followed by Torico in 1996.

    Awkwardly, its prequel is called Mansion of Hidden Souls in North America, which can lead to some confusion. In Europe the game used the name Real Yumemi prior to release.

    Gameplay

    Gameplay is similar to Yumemi Mystery Mansion and Torico in which the player assumes the role of Jun and solves a series of strange events with the NPC, Mike. the game uses FMV to render the titular mansion and the Jun can move down pre-determined paths and examine objects, some of which can be picked up and added to Juns inventory.

    Unlike the other two games in the series (or even similar FMV adventures such as D or Myst), there are no puzzles. Instead, Jun has to converse with other residents to solve problems using either button A to react positively or C for a negative response. Jun can also give or receive items in successful conversations.

    Controls

    Up moves Jun forward, examine objects Left or Right rotates Jun on the spot, X brings up the inventory, A positive response, use or give item from inventory. C negative response.

    Versions

    This is the only game in the series to be localised in languages other than English and Japanese.
