Horror, Mystery, Thriller · by Experience Inc. · published by Aksys Games · 2019
A young delinquent is pulled into a deadly game with spirits born from urban legends while searching for his missing little sister.
Who it's for: Horror readers who want urban-legend scares, investigation and life-or-death choices.
The story (spoiler-free)
A young delinquent comes home to find his little sister gone. The only lead is a game he is forced into, one that sets him against vengeful spirits born from local urban legends, and losing means more than missing his chance to find her.
Each chapter is an investigation: explore locations with a flashlight, gather clues, recruit help from a cast of shady allies, and then face the spirit in a confrontation where the wrong choice means death. The illustrations are deliberately unsettling.
It shares a universe with Spirit Hunter: Death Mark but tells its own story and works as a starting point.
Why play it
