Wow, I had no idea... 

Thanks to everyone though for helping me figure this out!

Hi, I'm new to signing on to the website!

I used to randomly play story games on here before, and I wanted to replay one that I have done years ago. I tried searching for it but I'm struggling to try to find it. I'm hoping maybe one of you might know the story I'm talking about and could help me find it. 

The story had you playing as a kid coming home from school and seeing one of their friends enter a haunted house. You then enter the house and are able to explore it and pick up items (backpack, mirror, pill bug, etc.) and you could use these items to open up/solve different puzzles in the house. There was also fantastical elements to the house, like a vampire upstairs, and a witch (I think) downstairs. Something unique I remember about the story is that one of your friends had ebola. I also remember the author created a "cheat sheet" on how to complete the game, as well as there being different endings and ways to die in the story. 

Also, if I posted this in the wrong forum, sorry. Let me know which one I should post to in the future.

If anyone remembers/knows what this story is can you let me know? Thanks! I look forward to being a part of this community!
