One night, siblings Jonathan and Samantha come across a butterfly while exploring a grassy field. Enchanted by the butterfly's haunting beauty, Samantha chases after it. Johnathan follows reluctantly, repeating their grandmother's warnings about ghosts who roam the area and turn people into butterflies. The butterfly leads Samantha into a mansion, where she becomes trapped. As Johnathan, the player must explore the mansion, overcome several puzzles, and escape with his sister before the pair of them become permanent residents. While exploring the mansion, the player encounters several ghosts, who appear in the form of butterflies: • A pampered young girl. She seems friendly at first, but is actually a conniving brat. • An Australian butterfly collector. He seems anxious for the boy to become a butterfly and join the collection. • A painter, who is in a perpetually dreamy, absent-minded state. • An Eastern European tavern wench. She cackles menacingly and seems amused by the children's predicament. • A piano-playing southern belle, who longs to touch the keys again.

In Mansion of Hidden Souls, the player travels between areas via 3D pre-rendered first-person full-motion video sequences, pressing the action button whenever they find something of interest. Doing so, sometimes reveals an important item, such as a key or matchbox, which is added to their inventory. The number of actual puzzles is fairly small; the player spends most of the game exploring the mansion and searching for important items.
