About the Game


You don't know where you are or why, but it feels like it could be home. This woman; you know her, don't you? But wait, who are you? Everything feels so familiar, but none of it makes sense. And still, there's something wrong here, like a low hum of warning, droning beneath the eerie silence of this place. Maybe you should leave.


Sometime in the late 1970's a small, isolated town is plagued by a masked lunatic. You find yourself at the door of a vast home nestled in the mountainous outskirts of the lonely forest surrounding the town. Experiencing a bizarre lapse in understanding, you are left to your own wits to find an answer to a question you don't even know to ask. Meanwhile, you are being hunted, and perhaps a narrow escape is as good an answer as you are going to find.
