Story[]

Take a stroll through Blackmoor's haunting countryside, where roads run red with blood. Somewhere in the shadows, a truly grotesque creature lies watching, waiting to strike when the moon is full.

Explore the decaying Talbot Hall, home to unspeakable horrors and shrouded in mystery, where an indescribable terror has been set free. A beast with an insatiable bloodlust is slaughtering all those who cross his path and it just so happens that tonight is a full moon. Feel your heart pound as you become the hunted.

Confront your demons if you dare, for only you can satisfy his hunger.
