The story so far (updated 15f4e2)

----------------

This game is about the real story of Baron Pacard Manford also known as PacMan* ! 

Baron Manford was a strange man! 

His skin was pale -almost yellow- he had a huge mouth and a huge appetite! He could eat anything, but his favorite indulgence was yellow candy!

A lesser-known aspect of his character was his fascination with ghost stories. Since he was a little boy, he loved exploring abandoned mansions that were rumored to be haunted!

His exceptional exploration skills made him famous, and people even paid him to hunt ghosts in old, deserted mansions!

He even started his own company with two of his friends and named it "Ghostbusters inc". There was a movie that was based on this part of his life. It became an instant hollywood blockbuster. The movie name was -as you can imagine- "TheThree amigos". One of the Ghostbusting three amigos was the famous French explorer "Ultimate Play da Gam"! 

 During his extensive travels, Ultimate Play da Gam discovered a well-kept secret that nobody else knew. The secret would only be revealed to the bravest souls! This quest led him to a haunted mansion with a sprawling garden, which happened to belong to the enigmatic Dr. Robbie Pssst. Dr. Pssst's research contained crucial information about the secret's whereabouts and a map leading to a hidden, lost mansion**! Ultimate Play da Gam was the first to acknowledge the existence of an "Ultimate Secret"!

Combining the intelligence of the French explorer, the Baron, and their mysterious third companion, they delved deeper into Dr. Robbie Pssst's prehistoric drawings. research. Their research guided them to a haunted mansion, situated near the long-forgotten Count Dracula Gardens!!

So, It Beggins.....
