NOTE:
This game's story is not worked out 100% yet, but I have a good idea of what it will be.

You wake in the middle of the night only to find yourself trapped in a different dimension... or perhaps two dimensions at once.  You are in your house that is both yours and not at the same time.  As you walk around the house completing puzzle after puzzle, jump scare after jump scare, you continually find notes from a small child.  They appear to be pages of a child's diary.  They detail her happy life with her father, how she can't wait to start 2nd grade.  Then, her father gets married to a woman who makes the child cringe.  After the marriage, they move into the step-mother's house.  Over the next few months, the tone in the house goes from unsure to uneasy to unbearable.  The step-mother treats the child poorly and the girl's father is never home.  One day, he just disappears.  The girl is just about to begin sixth grade when her step-mother locks her in the basement basically making the child her prisoner.  She keeps her locked down there with nothing but her diary to comfort her for who knows how long.  She starves down there, she gets frost bite, and she even loses a few toes and fingers to the cold.  Then, one day, a man in a white coat comes into the cellar.  He looks like a kind man.  He notices the girl huddling in the corner.  She tries to ask him for help, but her throat is hoarse, and she can't call him in time.  The man is called back upstairs by the step-mother.  He regretfully goes.  More time goes by and eventually, the child succumbs to death.  Her spirit is angry.  Angry no only at the step-mother, but at the man who didn't help her.  She terrorizes and curses the step-mother.  The step-mother is tortured by the girl's spirit until she dies.  But the spirit of the girl is not finished.  She wants to get revenge on the man that would not help her, but she could not find him.  She waited and waited and waited, but never did she find the man in the white coat.  Then, one day the house is torn down and a new one with almost the exact same layout is built on top of it and put up for sale.  And who should by it but the direct descendant of the man in the white coat: you.

The world goes no farther than the bounds of your house.  However, it doesn't feel like your house.  You can't quite put your finger on why...
CHARACTERS:
 
You:  The main character who is thrown into this whole mess that you never asked for.
Ghost Girl:  One of the spirits haunting your house.
??? Ghost:  A second spirit that haunts your house.  You aren't sure who or what it is and why it's there.

The world goes no farther than the bounds of your house.  Yes, it might be in a separate dimension... or something... but you will never leave the house.
CHARACTERS:
 
You:  The main character who is thrown into this whole mess that you never asked for.
Ghost Girl:  The spirit of the little girl who was abused and killed by her step mother.  She wants revenge on your great great grandfather for not helping her in her time of need by torturing you until the day you die... by her hand.
The Woman in White:  A second spirit that haunts your house.  She is the tortured spirit of the step-mother that cannot cross over into Heaven (or Hell, in her case).  This is her personal hell, bring trapped with the spirit of the person who hates her more than anything in the world.  This spirit only wants your help to ease her suffering.
The Woman in Red:  She is the spirit of the girl's mother.  She died when she was stabbed to death when the little girl was too young to remember.  She is there to protect you and calm the spirit of her daughter.
The Creature in the Black Robe:  He is behind all of this.  It all started when he was young.  He loved the little girl's mother and wanted to marry her.  He told his rich parents, and they tried to arrange a marriage when they were teenagers.  She, however, did not love him.  She instead married the little girl's father, and the man wanted revenge.  If he couldn't have her, then neither could anyone else.  He stabbed her to death and planned to kill the rest of her family, but he wasn't strong enough to kill the woman's husband.  When he realized he would be unable to finish the job, he found a woman who was rumored to abuse children to meet with the woman't husband.  All went according to his plan.  She killed his daughter out of her own will and the man caught the husband on his way home from work while he was too tired and weak to defend himself.  He is now here to finish the job he started by getting rid of each of their spirits.
