About the Game

Disturbing reports are increasingly reaching the Forestry Service: animals found on the outskirts of Ash Hills are discovered twisted into unnatural poses, their bodies brutally mutilated and butchered.
This area has gone unmonitored for a long time, and now the management sends you, ranger Ethan Crawley, to uncover what is happening. Your task is to set up a base in an abandoned cabin, install surveillance cameras, and establish constant monitoring of the perimeter. The Forestry Service believes poachers are responsible.
But from your very first steps into Ash Hills, it becomes clear — this forsaken forest hides a far more terrifying secret.

The surveillance system allows you to monitor the perimeter around the clock. Discover who left behind a bloody trail of corpses. But remember: while you watch through the cameras, something is watching you as well.

Explore the environment and interact with objects to uncover the horrors unfolding in Ash Hills. The items and documents you find will help piece together the truth — and perhaps offer a chance to escape Ash Hills alive.

You are issued a shotgun for protection against wild animals. Keep it loaded — here, beneath the oppressive darkness of the trees, wild animals may be the least of your fears.

At the heart of unimaginable horror, you must hold onto your sanity and do everything possible to escape. Can a person endure pain, fear, and despair in the name of survival — and still remain human?

Contact with it means the collapse of identity. The human mind cannot endure the realization of all living things as a single, distorted body.
