It is unknown where The Staircase Ritual originated. It's not an exorcism, but if you want to know if there's something weird going on in your house, The Staircase Ritual is one way to find out. This is a ritual that is long and very involved and takes more than one day to do. I do not recommend trying this unless you are strong, a monk or other person of a holy status, or someone who is experienced in rituals, I do not recommend playing this game; but if you're really that desperate to risk your life just so you can find out if there's a demon in your house, as always, play at your own risk.
