In Mystic Manor, players take turns spending courage points to move to a new location inside the house or perform actions outside of the house that allow the players to build up their character's maximum courage and storage, sell items they have collected, gain new items, enlist the help of a pet dog, or reset their courage points to re-enter the manor. Inside the house, you spend courage to move to a new room to collect items, attack ghosts, capture imps, bargain with apparitions, or gain the companionship of a house cat.
