---PLEASE NOTE---
I've uploaded a version which should fix a bug that was causing massive slowdown for many players, this was a minor change just editing one line of code, so I think this is permitted within the rules. If you disagree however, I have left the buggy version up for you to vote on instead.
------
A teenage girl explores an abandoned boarding school in search of Emily, the ghost of a young girl who died there years ago. But when she finds her, she finds the ghost doesn't want visitors...
You get 10 seconds before Emily will begin pursuing you, if Emily touches you, you die. Explore the school for items that can help you and clues on how to escape.
Left mouse to interact with things - open/close doors, pick up/drop items, investigate [!] marks for information.
Right mouse to run, but you can only run for a total of 10 seconds.
WASD or arrow keys to move around.
Press space to pause. If you pause you get a description of the item you are holding. Not every item has a use, but every item that relates to Emily in some way does - read clues to find out which ones relate to her.
Emily will start off slow, but she gains speed the longer you take. If you play on "impossible" (which might very well be impossible, I haven't really tested that mode thoroughly) she can get very fast. I recommend playing on the normal mode.
The layout of the map is the same every try, but the location of items is randomised between set points, as is your starting position.
