Your complete guide to Westbrook Mansion — air survival, witchcraft brewing, puzzles, walkthrough, and endings.
Not Remorse: The List
Remorses (2026, Twistedline Games) is a completely different game from Remorse: The List (2022, Ashkandi). This wiki covers only Remorses — the mansion investigation with air management and witchcraft brewing.
Remorses is a slow-burning psychological survival horror set in 1991. You play as Jake Lepistow, an investigator from Beaver Hills, Minnesota, drawn to Rivervalley after disappearances and witchcraft rumors surface around Westbrook Mansion.
The air inside the mansion slowly drains your sanity. Opening windows is not optional — it is your primary survival tool. Combine that with witchcraft brewing, logic/visual/auditory puzzles, stealth, and investigation to uncover the truth.
The soundscape features work from the sound designer of Outlast and the composer of Visage, reinforcing a comforting-yet-unsettling atmosphere across Rivervalley and the mansion grounds.
Stale air degrades sanity over time. Plan routes between rooms with openable windows. Neglecting ventilation triggers escalating psychological effects.
Gather ingredients throughout the mansion and brew potions — including a poison meant to counter witchcraft itself. Some brews are story-critical; others aid survival.
Expect logic, visual, and auditory puzzles tied to mansion secrets. Puzzles gate progression and lore documents.
Darkness takes many forms. Maintain stealth while managing sanity through air and environmental awareness.
Collect documents, follow leads, and piece together Rivervalley's history alongside Jake's obsession with the Westbrook case.
Air is Remorses' signature survival loop. Unlike combat-heavy horror, your lifeline is ventilation — knowing which rooms breathe and how long you can stay sealed.
When entering a new area, locate windows or openings first. Mark mentally (or note on paper) which rooms allow fresh air before committing to puzzle-solving.
Never solve a long puzzle in a dead-end room without an exit window unless you have confirmed safe air duration. Route back to ventilated space between objectives.
Audio distortion, visual warping, and UI cues signal declining sanity. Treat these as timers — retreat to a window immediately when early symptoms appear.
Group collectibles and puzzle items by nearest window hub. This minimizes backtracking under pressure.
Exact sanity drain rates and window cooldown values will be verified within 24–72 hours of launch and updated here.
Brewing connects exploration to survival. Ingredients are hidden across Westbrook Mansion and Rivervalley-adjacent areas. The central narrative thread involves crafting a poison against witchcraft itself.
