Anywhere Key
The key lets you travel to anywhere in the world you want to go — if that location has a door that you can picture in your mind.
Echo Key
This Key is used to summon an “echo” of a deceased person from Keyhouse’s well house.
The Ghost Key
The key allows the user to leave their body and become a ghost when inserted into a specific Keyhouse door, (the one with the same skull symbol printed on the key itself). While a ghost, the user can fly around and interact with other ghosts but is unable to be seen by the living.

Mending Cabinet Key
This key has to be used with the Mending Cabinet mending anything locked into the cabinet.
Music Box Key

Plant Key

Omega Key
This key opens the Black Door down in The Sea Caves. We don’t know a lot about the world tha
