With a sense of urgency, you decide to use the ancient key you found to unlock a nearby cabinet in the secret room. As you insert the key into the lock, you feel a faint click, and the cabinet door swings open, revealing a hidden compartment inside.

Inside the compartment, you find a collection of old letters and photographs. One particular letter catches your eye. It is addressed to the mansion's previous owner and contains cryptic references to a hidden treasure within the mansion.

Before you can delve deeper into the contents of the letter, you hear footsteps approaching the secret room. Time is of the essence.

What would you like to do next?

1. Quickly hide the letter and photographs on your person.

2. Confront the person entering the secret room.

3. Use the key to unlock a hidden exit from the secret room.

4. Retreat further into the secret room and find a hiding spot.

Please choose your next action.
