A SHORT HORROR GAME
After a day of exhausting work, it's finally time to go home, but all the roads in the city are closed because of the snow, your only hope is to take the last bus of the day that passes at midnight; a vehicle in questionable conditions.
The driver has taken a route not very passable because of the situation, tiredness overcomes you, and when you wake up you find yourself alone in the bus in the middle of nowhere... or not?
A series of disturbing discoveries will make you realize that being trapped in a snowstorm is not the worst thing that will happen to you that day!
The game has a unique ending, which in turn will be part of a series of stories around Volmor City. Would you be willing to visit this godforsaken place more than once?
