About the Game

You are far away from home.

Winter chills you to the bone.

Staying at a dingy inn, you perform an old ritual that who-knows-whom on the internet taught you.

This is a story-driven, first person horror game of 15-20 minutes of gameplay.

Guidelines to the ritual are hinted at in a blog called The Channels, which can only be accessed through the inn's private network. You read the page carefully and follow the guidelines. Then you will be fine.

At the end of a successful ritual, you will be rewarded by being transformed into someone completely different from who you are.

Well, how does that sound?

Tempting? Then give it a try.
