Solace House

by Will Maclean · 2026

In the summer of 1993, broke university student Alex Lane takes a strange job clearing out Solace House, a sprawling Victorian manor bequeathed to the campus by the reclusive collector Flayne. What begins as a mundane summer gig quickly spirals into a labyrinthine quest when Alex and his eclectic crew uncover Flayne’s journals—filled with obsessive musings about his vanished mother, a mysterious place called Bewise, and a belief in a hidden realm parallel to our own. As the students sift through the house’s accumulated junk, one of them becomes consumed by decoding the increasingly cryptic notes, convinced that the mansion guards forbidden knowledge. Their obsession draws them deeper into a psychological thriller where the line between reality and the uncanny blurs, and every revelation demands a steep personal sacrifice. Solace House is a haunting blend of mystery, fantasy, and the cost of seeking truth.
