About the Game

A Macabre Secret in the Fog

Welcome to the graveyard shift. You have been hired to tend to the town's dead, but the quiet cemetery hides a desperate fugitive. With patrols closing in and time running out, you have exactly 15 days to orchestrate his escape. But keeping him alive requires crossing a line you can never uncross.

The Price of Survival

He cannot leave his room, and he is starving. To keep him breathing, you must use the tools of your trade to harvest what you can from the bodies brought to your graveyard. Secure the meat, hide the evidence, and deposit his daily rations before the sun rises. If his chest stays empty, he will not survive the week.

Prepare the Escape

Survival alone isn't enough. You must use the cover of night to map a safe route through the fog and prepare the boat by the lake. Every day pushes him closer to the brink, and every mistake risks exposing you both to the town's guards.
