In a maze of a manor

In desperation for her life
she killed her destroyer
but in the end all she created
was another pursuer.

Haunting Ground, a japanese game, is one of the epitomes of the "Gothic" genre, I was so surprised to see video game which incorporated all the traits which I love, a young girl in a spooky mansion, an older anti-hero who pursues her, a white dress, the evil female housekeeper, threats to her virginity etc. etc. I love it.

Similarly Mot and Durga go searching through Avalon's secret passageways, as Mot is pre-programmed to spy on the House of Spica though he does not know it himself, Durga killed her lover when she was young, an Oxsanis nobleman who kept her as a maid and his memory and his prediction still haunt her, as she goes deeper and deeper into the dark crevasses of the palace.
