First, you're going to want to explore the island. When you walk in turn left and look at the marker with the T on it. Pick up the paper next to it.
Next turn back and continue the rest of the way to the house. Turn left on the porch and talk to Colton, Jess's fiancé, make sure you complete the whole conversation. He'll give you Jess's phone but it has no charge. Go towards the swing and then turn, pick up the hammer at the bottom of the pillar.
Go to the front door and enter, then turn right to enter the parlor, talk to Clara fully, she'll tell you that one of Jess's friends, Addison, was with her when she disappeared. Clara gives you Addison's phone number, once you pick it up its entered into your phone automatically.
Looking around the parlor you'll see a briefcase, but since Clara's in the room, you can't check it. Look at all the portraits. Read the book on the fireplace "Espionage in Bonnets". Then read the diary.
Go to the tea set and take the oranges in the bowl of fruit and a napkin from the stack.
Charging Jess's Phone. Leave the room and turn to the right and go down the hall. Enter the room and go forward to the table, read the electricity manual.
Use the hammer you found on the nails stuck in the wall right above the table, also take the canvas, and when you turn around from the table take the turpentine near the door. Turn to the left until facing the door that's hung up and go towards it. Stop when you're at the barrel with the projector. Turn it upright and take the coins in the jar next to it.
Continue to the door and take the picker on the barrel. Also, take the spade near the right beam.
Read the plaque on the door. DO NOT TRY THE DOOR TWICE.
Recharge Jess's Phone. Go back to the work table and set out the oranges, then click the nails in your inventory and click the oranges, do the same with the pennies. Then click the charge wires in the jar and they will automatically be connected and the phone will start charging.
It will take a bit to charge so use the time to get some other things done.
Contact Addison. Click Nancy's phone and go to the dialer, click on Addison's name and the call will start. Talk completely to her and learn what happened. Jess had disappeared and when she came back she was acting strangely. Addison said she started to feel weird and heard another voice when she came to Jess was missing.
Exit the room, you'll occasionally see a ghost pass in front of the doors when you leave rooms.
Find the missing portrait. Go upstairs and you'll see an empty frame, use the canvas you found in the workshop on the frame. Pick up the bag with cotton.
Go to the sleeping bag and table and turn around towards the sofa. Read the book on the sofa.
Turn to the left and try the door at the end. It's Locked.
Look at the portrait (right of the door when facing it and left when your back is to it)
See what the smudge on Clara's portrait is covering. When you examine the portrait Nancy will say something about the smudge on it. Take your napkin and paint thinner from inventory and clean the smudge.
Behind the smudges are graves.
Go downstairs and talk fully to Clara.
Find the tombstones. Go outside and talk to Colton twice then go to the gate and turn left. You'll come to the cemetery. Talk to Wade and complete the whole conversation. Go up to the statue, turn right and go to the fountain. Click the overgrown ivy behind it twice and uncover the gravestones.

The package Savannah sent. Go back to the house and talk to Colton on the porch then go in and talk to Clara. Go upstairs and look at the table near the sleeping bag, you'll see a box on the table. Go check it out. She sent you a book and an EMF reader.
Use Nancy's cell and call Savannah.
After talking and turn to the hallway with the locked door, you'll see Charlotte's ghost.
