About the game
In this exciting expansion to The Awful Orphanage, The Orphanage Awakes allows a player to take control of Mrs. Prendergast and the nefarious residents of her home for wayward children. A new condition, "spooked", gives the Orphan's negative effects when they encounter brutal Orderlies, chittering Rats, the Creepy Clown Kid or the nightmarish Gaunt & Sinister Man. Never fear though as a new Orphan named Rollo has arrived who carries both a soothing voice and a dark secret from another world. Not to be beaten, Mrs. Prendergast has procured the services of Bill and his vicious dog Sykes in order to ensure the Orphans stay put in the Attic Bedroom. —description from the publisher
