Eva walks over to the chapel doors with Newfound vigor and locks them takes this opportunity to slip a piece of paper between the doors than picking up a candlestick before heading to the previous hidden staircase "Why don't we go down and see father's so-called golden land."

"Agreed. Hopefully we'll be safe there until the storm passes." Rosa double-checks her gun to ensure it's loaded and ready to fire, just in case.

Eva takes one last look around the chapel before descending the stairs.

Eva, seeing nothing out of place, confirms that Rosa, Maria, Jessica, and George are still with her. The group descends the stairs, and after a little while they come to large double-doors with no visible means of opening them. On the wall next to the doors is a seal with stakes in it.

Eva investigates Theory looking for any switches before running her hands over the door and the seal "Maria do you know what the symbol means?"

Maria glances up at the symbol. "The Second Seal of Jupiter. This seal is used to invoke the spirits to help you acquire riches of all kinds, discover treasures, and repel the spirits that preside over them." She sighs. "Most likely, in this case, it means we've almost reached Beatrice...." The girl pouts and fiddles with the stuffed animal she's carrying. "Sakutarou, it looks like we might not be entering the Golden Land this time."
While the family is approaching the seal, the witch has guests of her own. Gaap drops the servants into the gold room before Beatrice and Natsuhi. "Better hurry, Riche, they're getting close." The witch sighs. "I know, Gaap. I just needed the servants!" Genji stands and dusts himself off. "Lady Beatrice, I take it that our turn has finally come?" "Indeed it has, Genji. All you servants have done well what I asked of you, so you'll all be welcome in the Golden Land once my revival is complete!" Genji bows, and Kumasawa does the same after Shannon helps her up. Shannon, however, does not comply as well. "Lady Beatrice, I have a request! If at all possible, I would ask that I wait for George before being invited in." Shannon touches the golden ring on her finger. "I willingly offer mysrlf as a sacrifice, however. I just...want to stay by George's side until the end." Beatrice chuckles. "Why not? I will allow this." She snaps her fingers and a stake pierces Genji and Kumasawa. Only Nanjo and Shannon are left standing. "Doctor, before your turn, I need you to dispose of Natsuhi and the other bodies. I don't want an audience for the final twilight. Oh, but leave Krauss. I need him yet." "Y-yes, Lady Beatrice." He turns to Natsuhi. "Miss Natsuhi, if you would." Natsuhi, having held her tears in for a while now, nods and looks at her husband one last time. Nanjo directs her to the place in mind, and together they clear the gold room out so Beatrice is left by herself, save Krauss' body. Shannon follows along behind Nanjo, carrying Kumasawa. Now that she's alone. Beatrice takes a seat on the gold bars, and blows smoke out of the pipe. "Gaap, make sure the final stake finds her mark. Natsuhi is not to escape." "Got it." Gaap disappears into a hole, leaving Beatrice to her wait.

"This one is easier than it looks. Notice the stakes?" George points to them. "We must 'gouge the chest and kill', then the 'stomach', then the 'knee', then the 'leg'." George turns each stake that corresponds to where the various places would be, if the seal was a person, and pulls them out. Once he's done, there's a grinding noise, and the nearby doors slowly open to reveal more stairs. "'And on the tenth twilight, the witch shall revive, and none shall be left alive.' This likely refers to the door opening if you do it correctly."

Okay, it's taken me almost two years to do this so I think it's been long enough.
Game End!
The family goes through the newly-opened doors and down the stairs to find another large set of doors. Painted on them, in red, are the words “On the eleventh twilight, the journey shall end, and you shall reach the capital where the gold dwells!” and the doors are ajar. “I think that settles that.” George comments, adjusting his glasses. Eva pushes to the front and opens the doors, going in first with her gun drawn. Past the doors is a room with a canopy bed, and a pallet of gold ingots. Then, Eva notices Krauss on the floor, in a pool of blood, and a woman sitting at the foot of the bed. “Welcome, Ushiromiya family!” The woman exclaims loudly. “You made it just in time, it seems. A shame, I was mere moments from completing my ritual, too.” The woman chuckles, and Eva aims her gun at her. “Shut up! Who are you?! What are you really after? The gold?” The family enters the room and stands behind Eva. Before the woman can answer, however, Eva feels a sharp pain in the back of her head and the sensation of falling before everything goes black.
Some time later, Eva regains consciousness. Her head hurt like hell, but she was able to get to her feet. She’d landed on her brother’s body, and she noticed a few things once her mind started to come back to her. First, Krauss’ skull was crushed in. Second, the blood was dry and he was ice cold. Third, an ingot she’d missed before was laying next to him with more dried blood on it. Wait. The woman! Where did she- Before Eva could finish her thought, though, she saw the object of her search and more. Scattered around her feet are the bodies of Jessica, George, Rosa, and Maria. Jessica has a large hole in her head. George has been shot in the chest three times. Maria is laying in Rosa’s lap, her head twisted at a strange angle; half of Rosa’s head is missing. The woman from before is lying on the bed, and when Eva makes her way over there, stumbling and swaying the entire way, she can get a better look at this mystery woman. The woman, who so resembles the big portrait now that Eva’s had a better look, has a hole in her forehead and there’s a huge splatter on the headboard. Eva looks around the room, but doesn’t see Natsuhi or the missing servants anywhere. Curious. Turning her attention back to the woman on the bed, Eva can see that this woman is wearing a blonde wig. There’s a hint of brown hair underneath, but before Eva can further investigate, a clock nearby strikes midnight. Then, nothing.
October 4th and 5th, 1986, on Rokkenjima Island, the Ushiromiya family gathered for their annual conference, but this year is different. This year ends in tragedy. For many years, legends abounded of the witch who was said to rule the island after dark. Servants told tales of encounters with this witch for a long time, indeed. This year, the witch Beatrice began a ritual in order to revive herself into this world once and for all. The family was systematically sacrificed to the witch as laid out in the Epitaph that Kinzo had left as a challenge. One by one, the family was killed by the witch’s magic. Not a single person on Rokkenjima during the conference that year returned alive. The island was ravaged, to the point that even the mansion was destroyed. Ange, the youngest member of the family, was the sole survivor, by virtue of having been sick that year. This tale of death, magic, and despair, as propagated by the surviving servants - who had been off those days - and mysterious message bottles are the only Legacy that the Ushiromiya family has left: the Golden Witch’s Legacy lives on today, without anyone around to provide any other explanation.
