Question about Brennenburg Castle ? When this whole game happens ?

[bugmenot]

Based on Daniel's diary & notes, the Brennenburg Castle seem bustling with lives & activity (worker/normal human servants, prisoner, etc...)

But how come when Daniel wakes up, the castle seems empty & have been abandoned for years ?

Did Daniel fell in a slumber for years or something ?
Is this whole game happens couple days after his arrival (1839) ?
or Alexander is doing something on Daniel's mind (well that's the easiest answer actually).

Some Diary & Text that make me ask this question:

Code: (Select All)

Daniel's Dairy: My room is exquisite and I am confident that no hotel for miles could even hope to match it.

but yet, everything looks old & in ruins when he woke up.

also where are the other workers that work for Alexander, what we saw is only monster in an old castle?
I don't remember the exact text for the other worker, but if you read the diary & notes you get the feeling that there are some human activities in the castle.
