The Attic Expeditions

Events unfold in a modern setting, beginning with Trevor and Faith buying a home and discovering the book in the attic. Four years later, Trevor is confined in a hospital-like sanitarium as Dr. Ek pushes his experiments. The blend of clinical environments with occult rituals creates a present-day sense of unease.

The story centers on the attic where Trevor discovers a staircase to a book of black magic. The House of Love functions as a rehabilitation facility but is populated by actors, blurring the line between recovery and role-playing. The hospital/sanitarium setting later anchors Trevor's four-year arc, underscoring manipulation and control as central themes.

🔮 Occult Knowledge

A mysterious black magic book drives the plot, turning curiosity into dangerous power. The rituals connected to the book merge science and sorcery, threatening Trevor and those around him. Dr. Ek's schemes reveal the dangers of seeking control over the unknown.

🎭 Illusion vs. Reality

The House of Love uses actors and staged murders to manipulate Trevor's perception of what is real. Trevor's memory and identity are fractured by drugs, tricks, and whispered confessions. Faith's appearances as both ally and antagonist intensify the sense that nothing in the House is what it seems.

🗝️ Power and Control

Power is pursued through forbidden knowledge, medical experimentation, and psychological manipulation. Dr. Ek seeks to weaponize the book, while Trevor and Douglas navigate a landscape of deception to gain or withhold information. The fight over access to the book mirrors a broader battle for autonomy over one's mind.
