A JOB LIKE NO OTHER
You’ve been selected as the new chapel keeper in a forgotten corner of a rural town! You wake up late, tend to the chapel, and maintain its surrounding graveyards as part of a quiet daily routine... and then realize that you're not alone.
Honor the traditions left behind by previous keepers or suffer the consequences. Familiarize yourself with your surroundings, as your responsibilities increase with each passing day, with new places to explore and supernatural entities that will keep you on your toes.
IMPROVISE YOUR SURVIVAL
Use whatever you can to stay alive and finish your duties! Hurl heavy trash bags to break obstacles before disposing of them. Combine matches and gasoline bottles to create a temporary light source instead of powering the generator.
When all else fails, swing your trusty broom to fend off whatever stands in your way.
There is no single solution: experiment, adapt, and improvise. Just make sure the work gets done before the day ends.
WATCH THE CLOCK
There is much to do, and the night comes fast. Fortunately, you’re equipped with the perfect tool: A smartwatch that keeps track of time, your health, and your objectives.
Your watch will warn you of nearby threats and guide you through your daily routine, but it won’t stop the sun from setting. Fail to manage your time, and the dynamic nightfall system will plunge the chapel grounds into darkness, unleashing surreal entities once known only through whispered rumors.
UNEARTH THE TRUTH
Follow the story of a young girl who accepts the job as a literal get-out-of-jail card. It sounds like an easy escape... but nothing about the chapel is what it seems.
Why do people say the previous keepers always disappear? Why does the chapel demand such strict routine and constant maintenance? Uncover a mystery rooted in the town’s past as you retrace the steps of those who came before you, piecing together the origins of the chapel, and the unsettling role it plays in the lives of everyone around it.
