Room Drafting
When you reach a closed door, you decide which room appears behind it. Each decision adds a new chamber with its own challenges and secrets, directly shaping your daily path through the manor. The drafting choice is the primary way you influence exploration.

The reset mechanic ensures that each sunrise presents a fresh puzzle layout, while any permanent estate blueprint you acquire remains, providing a sense of lasting advancement amid the ever‑changing environment.
- Prioritize finding permanent upgrades before the reset.
- Use the reset to experiment with new room drafts.
