Find a way out of your

relationship without any

For the last little while, you’ve been

secretly seeing someone upstairs.
It was fun, exciting, and a welcome
change from routine. But now it’s
creating too many problems in your
life, and you need to end it.

Trouble is, the situation is a

little sensitive. You see, neither
of you should have been in this
relationship. And if anyone
finds out, there will be hell to pay
upstairs and down. The biggest
hell you can imagine.

position must certainly be yours—
until your rival stepped

Now you must do everything you

can to dash their chances and ensure
this position goes to you.

Protect your favourite member

of the family upstairs and help
them achieve their desire.

This manor has been your home for

a number of years, and you've come
to understand the importance of
your role in the household.

While you may not care for all of

those upstairs, you have become
increasingly fond of one member of
the family. You want the best for
them despite the difficulties they
face. And besides, you very much
doubt they have any chance of
achieving their desires without you.

Decide which upstairs major

character is your favourite
member of the family.

errors had severe repercussions both
upstairs and downstairs.

You were almost fired by the senior

servants, and now you’re barely
holding on to your position. You
need to fix your mess and prove your
worth in this manor before things go
from bad to worse.

Decide what happened, and give

one upstairs major character a
negative tag as a result of your
actions. This upstairs character
knows you were responsible for
their fall in reputation.

downstairs is falling apart.

Not only that, a number of servants

disagree with your appointment,
and barely listen to your orders.

You must win their respect and get

downstairs back in shape before
your employers notice.

Decide with others which of the

downstairs staff resent your
appointment, and why.
