About the Game

In a world where the occult and the unknown intertwine, you take on the role of Miguel, a dedicated member of a Masonic fraternity, determined to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of his brothers. Your investigation leads you to a grand Masonic residence, where dark and disturbing secrets lurk in every corner, and a Masonic temple awaits chilling revelations.

The story revolves around a sacred amulet, brought from Egypt after an excavation conducted by the fraternity members. What initially seemed like an invaluable archaeological relic quickly becomes an object of pure terror, with powers that transcend human understanding.

As you explore the residence and the hidden temple in its depths, Miguel must face supernatural phenomena, cryptic clues, and unspeakable horrors. With the fate of his brothers at stake, he discovers that the amulet may be the key to a mystery that dates back to ancient civilizations and interdimensional forces beyond our reality.

Prepare yourself for a journey of psychological terror, investigation, and occultism, where every choice may be crucial, and the secrets of the past could come at a terrible cost.
