Okay, I am going to try this again and it's going to drive me wild when I can't figure it out, but here it goes.

You see that right there? That's not it, but it was damn close to that. It's the first thing I ever remember playing on the computer when I was just a little kid... the graphics are the same, and it's in a house except for I don't remember there being anything that can kill me the way that the little girls do. The only thing I remember about the first room was that there was a staircase going up to the second floor.
I don't seem to remember the whole "exits" system, to me it seems like you just clicked where to go... but there was an inventory system present I do believe.
If anyone remembers ANY games with graphics like that, and a game that takes place in a haunted house.. please, please tell me or show some screens. I really want to find that damn game.
