A pile of detective equipment

"Forgotten by most as soon as they leave."

Loop round in a mind bending mystery as you uncover the secrets of a secluded diner and the people who went missing.

A long hallway with a door slightly ajar with a red glow

"A long way from the rest of the world... and even further from reality."

Will you save the 6 missing people... or join them?

A destroyed kitchen with a walkie-talkie on the floor
