The Kitchen. A friendly Cook tries to trap her with mountains of food that Sarah has to climb out of.

The Workshop. An old man welcomes her in and tries to catch her in a building game. Sarah outsmarts the man and battles her way out a cage, escaping the room.

Biblical Connection

The Temptation of Christ, as told in Matthew, Mark and Luke describes Jesus' journey through the desert and how the Devil came to him and tempted him three times in order to steal his faith away from God. We are taking this epic tale and condensing it down into one fantastical location. The Devil is represented by the House, an entity trying to steal Sarah’s soul. Just as the Devil gave Jesus three challenges and temptations to overcome, so too does the House present these to Sarah. The challenges come in the form of three rooms. The first, just like Jesus, is that of food. The second comes in a test of faith, trying to distract and trap Sarah from her true path. The third is the hardest challenge where the House has offered everything that Sarah wants, her parents. Just as it was Jesus’ faith in God that helps him overcome each of the Devils temptations and challenges, its Sarah’s faith that she will find her parents that keeps her going in the house, driving her and giving her the strength to overcome everything the House throws at her.
