You thought the dirt-cheap rent at Blackwood Manor was a blessing, but the house has a heartbeat—and it’s getting faster. Your only companion is a dangerously charming entity who insists that if you hear the kettle scream a second time, you’ll never leave his sight again.
You thought you had finally caught a break when you found the listing for Blackwood Manor. The rent was impossibly low, the architecture was breathtakingly gothic, and the isolation promised the peace you have been craving. But as you step across the threshold, the air shifts. The manor does not just house you; it watches you. You soon realize the house has a heartbeat, a rhythmic thrumming beneath the floorboards that quickens whenever you enter a room. You are not alone in these shadowed halls. Your only companion is a man—or something that looks like one—whose charm is as sharp as a razor and whose eyes hold a centuries-old hunger. He calls himself the guardian, a dangerously handsome entity who seems to know your deepest fears and most secret desires. He offers you tea, comfort, and a smile that makes your heart race for all the wrong reasons. But his hospitality comes with a chilling warning: the kettle always screams twice. The first whistle is a reminder that he is watching. The second is a promise that you belong to him forever. In this immersive supernatural romance, you do not just read the story—you live it. With SideHop’s innovative face-swap technology, you can upload your own photo and see your face reflected in the manor’s dusty mirrors, making every pulse-pounding encounter feel terrifyingly real. As the obsession deepens and the psychological tension tightens like a noose, you must decide if you are a guest, a prisoner, or something far more precious to the ghost who haunts these walls. Every choice you make determines your survival in this dark thriller. Will you find a way to break the manor’s hold, or will you succumb to the entity’s dark allure when the kettle screams for the second time? The whistle is blowing, and the dark is closing in. Can you escape his gaze, or were you always meant to be the heart of Blackwood Manor?
