== Characters == These are the main characters and their backgrounds, in order of disappearance: ; Tom Oliver : A soldier from the 17th century during the [[English Civil War]], who was betrayed by his friend Will and taken by the dark fall while he was in the cellar of the Dowerton Inn. He was—-according to game texts-—a devout [[Protestantism|Protestant]]. ; Timothy Pike : An 11-year old boy who was captured by the dark fall while playing in the train tunnels, being the second mentioned disappearance. He leads you to the station, explains the set-up, and helps you several times during the game. The simultaneous disappearance of the next six are the cause of the closing of the hotel and station. ; George Crabtree : Mysterious owner of the hotel. Upon his disappearance, he was suspected of having murdered the others and then fled the scene. Oldest sibling of his family (he was in his sixties), and a gifted photographer. ; Edith Penfold : Hostess of the station hotel, who enjoys music. ; Betty Penfold : Daughter of Edith Penfold, who played the piano and trumpet. Hates "common" music, and played for the guests at the inn the night of their disappearance. Had a liking for Thomas Callum, a local boy. ; Matilda Fly : An actress who was laughed out of the [[Empire Theatre (New York City)|Empire Theatre]]. Spent her final days at the Dowerton train station. ; Gloria Grable : A mysterious character who spent some time at the station hotel and supposedly drove a sports car, which can be found in the nearby barn. ; Andrew Verney : An amateur astronomer, with a gentle, inquisitive nature, despite his penchant for red wine. He had apparently been a guest at the inn regularly for some years. ; Thomas Callum : Not one of the vocal spirits, but he can be spoken to through the [[Ouija|Ouija board]]. A local farm boy who loved Betty Penfold, the daughter of the hostess of Dowerton Inn, he also was one of the people who was consumed by the dark fall. But to the outside world, his was just a mysterious disappearance, for he was not known to be in the hotel—-and certainly not as a paying guest. ; Arther : George Crabtree's closest friend. Unlike the others, he died a natural death, killed in [[World War II]]; a romantic sort. He had a bad relationship with his father, and so took refuge at the Dowerton Inn. ; Polly White : A university student who had been working on a project for school studying hauntings. She enjoys working with the computers. ; Nigel Danvers : Also a university student, and a classmate of Polly's. He is familiar with photography and enjoys Chinese food. ; Pete Crowhurst : "Your" (the player-character's) older brother who has made a name for himself in the [[architecture]] field. He seems to eschew the idea of hauntings or spirits until the events of the game. ; The Player : The player's character. Your last name would also be Crowhurst (assuming you share a name with your brother). You tend to leave your morning coffee lying about. You have an aloof relationship with your brother, but still care for his well-being. Several other characters are mentioned, but do not have much gameplay connections. Constable Harold Perch was on the scene near the time of the disappearances incognito, but he couldn't have been Andrew Verney. There is a journal kept by a previous researcher in the 1980s mentioned, and he is also said to have disappeared.
