About the Game



You are the new ranger at a national park where tourist season is going almost according to plan.

By day, check documents, inspect vehicles, and let visitors into the park. By night, patrol the woods, help your fellow rangers, investigate strange incidents, and find out why something ancient, hungry, and definitely not approved by management is so desperate to get out.

Survive a Bureaucratic Nightmare

Fill out forms, bury inconvenient details, and try to explain to management why “ritual markings near the restroom” should not be listed as a standard maintenance issue.

Explore the Park on Foot, by Car, or by Boat

Reach the remote areas of Hampton Bay and keep an eye on your vehicle. A breakdown at the wrong time can leave you stranded far from your post.

Face the Horrors of Hampton Bay

Cultists, strange rituals, mutating people, and tourists who came back from the woods as something less than human will slowly become part of your shift.

Try to Hide the Evidence

Traces of incidents can be cleaned up, hidden, or left exactly where they are. Tourists, the police, and the detective will notice your choices.

Plan Each Day

Your energy is limited: work, running, driving, and night patrols all wear you down. Choose between your duties, the investigation, and your own safety.
