Assume the role of a young Norwegian, Amund Vreim, starting his job as a temp exterminator on assignment to the Eikherad stave church in Telemark, Norway. You were looking forward to an easy, relaxing assignment, but you soon realize that nothing is as it seems and as you learn more about this place, you will gain strange, magical abilities. Use them at your own peril however, there might be a price to pay…
The massive church dates back to the end of the Viking Age and both the structure and its surroundings hold many dark secrets. Each passing day reveals new areas for you to explore, eventually leading you into uncanny, mystical worlds; but even places you've already seen will feel unfamiliar and have you question your sanity...
You quickly learn that you are not alone in this strange place. The sense of unease and dread soon permeate your whole existence and with every dark secret you uncover, it is becoming clear that it won’t be long before you have to make a difficult choice. Can you keep your wits and become strong enough to protect our world from the ancient evil lurking beyond the veil?

Lovecraft.
