Synopsis

"You stand on the misty moors outside the walls of Bastow Manor.

Old man Bastow has disappeared, or so the story goes, leaving rumours of his great wealth hidden somewhere in the Manor.

The baying of the hounds behind the walls brings to mind tales of wandering ghosts and hidden traps.

Can you find the Treasure, solve the mystery.

....... and live!"
