Black Ridge Mountains

Private investigator Matthew Barker is on his way to meet up with his partner Daniel Houghton. A recent string of disappearances possibly linked to a serial killer in the town of Black Ridge has left the sheriff's department stretched thin.

Matthew and Daniel have been tasked by the sheriff's department to investigate a manor located in the outskirts of Black Ridge. The MacCarthy family, owners of the manor are thought to have disappeared and left the manor abandoned over a year ago. Locals have reported strange sightings and sounds from the areas surrounding the manor.

Once the investigation is complete they are to report any findings to The Black Ridge Sheriffs Department.
