This game involves an investigation into ghost sightings in a small Italian village. This continues from the first game in the series, Vera Blanc Episode 1.

Day 1

Town Square

Approach the teenagers and you will end up talking with Berni. Read his mind ("Ah, Vera. Perhaps I should have asked..."), then after Brandon storms off, try looking for adults. Talk to Nassi about the ghost, castle, Anastasi and himself. Now wait for Anastasi. After he arrives, ask if he is married, then ask about the ghost and where you are going.

Villa Anastasi

When you are alone with Brandon, ask about Roberto, ask if he's jealous, and then examine the garden. Once inside, examine the room and you will read Roberto's mind ("That bastard of a father. How could he..."). Ask about his wealth and if he saw the ghost. Ask all the other questions available and you will leave the villa.

Your House

Talk to Paolo, asking if he is the owner, and about the ghost. Now get ready for dinner. After dinner play the memory game. Ask Massimo about Riccardo and Lucia, then read his mind ("This guy is really lucky! I should..."). Ask for permission to look around, then spot the four differences.
