Howard Anderson visits an abandoned estate with his friends in Pennsylvania, and they plan on sleeping in its huge, crumbling manor for two weeks, as a means of experience (either supernatural or leisure). Everything was going well for everyone until Howard discovers the diary of a mysterious girl named Cecil, who turns out to be the daughter of the wealthy estate-owner. He becomes curious and reads the diary, unraveling the wonders and enigmas that this girl, the writer, has experienced in this manor. However, after reading the diary, things take a horrible and terrifying turn for Howard and his companions and they have no choice but to flee from the estate, not fulfilling their two weeks stay. Heavily based on the concept of the game CHESS, Cecil's Gambit explores every depth and cranny of the game, mixing humor and thrill at the same time...
