In Withering Rooms, you'll need to navigate through Mostyn House where a variety of supernatural beings including overgrown undead, invisible ghosts, and witches will be encountered.
The goal is to gather weapons and other resources, in order to escape the mansion. The game also includes secret passageways, dusty attics laden with treasures, and an ever-evolving labyrinth.

Characters met along the way have their own agendas, and a selection of spells are available to assist you in your quest. The game also incorporates a system of performing rituals to preserve items or level up.
Beyond the mansion, there are additional locations such as hedge mazes, tombs, and ruins, each presenting their own threats and treasures.
