Storyline? The main character is a real estate agent. Business has gone down hill for a while so he became an alcoholic and his wife left him after a drunken argument, so now he has nothing to do but explore properties he once thought were junk. He never visited the house before because of the area it's in, but now that he sees how many antiques are inside he wants to catalog them before he calls in someone to haul them to an auction house.
If the game starts out in the house, with cut scenes explaining how you got there a huge storm could start right after the character enters and lighting strikes you whenever you try to leave. Along with that perhaps gusts of wind blow could hurl objects at you, either killing you outright or crippling you and then something else finishes you off. Perhaps wild dogs that are too scared to attack a healthy person but will go after you if you're hurt in some way.
