Ready, Set, Geaux!

Ready, Set, Geaux!

You step into the foyer of Dr. Weirdeaux's mansion. It looks like your basic hunting lodge for rich weirdos, decorated in the classic "antlers and taxidermied animal corpses" style. But then you notice the weird stains on the lush red carpet. And then you see that some of the stuffed animals are moving--well, twitching, more like--and most of them are moaning softly.

Here's hoping you can survive in here without being turned into an objet d'art yourself.
