You rounded the corner of this basement to see a man wearing a white robe and a pointed hat, his red eyes burned into your own soul, a feeling of dread washed over you as you locked eyes with this man.

"HERETIC!"

He suddenly shouts before summoning and throwing a ball of fire at you, you dodge out of the way of his incoming attack and fire at him with your dual pistols, two shots in his chest whilst the third one embedding itself into its head, blood spurting out at it falls backwards...

You sigh with relief as you walk past it, before a loud mooing caught your attention, you went around another corner to a much more open space in this dungeon of sorts to see a black goat like creature, it's rib cage was showing as well as its organs, you retch at the sigh of it before it turns towards you.

It charges and spits a bloodied projectile at you, which caught you off guard and so you were hit- a searing pain jolted through your body as it hit, giving you a quick burst of adrenaline as you open fire at it, the creature lay dead where it once stood...

You sigh as you clutch your chest in pain, nearby you see a small medical bag, you approach it and open it- it contains a few pills...better than nothing you suppose.

You take a few pills and the pain fades away...you crack your neck as you approach the other part of this dungeon: it's blocked by rocks, but a wall next to it seems very fragile...seeing a gas canister nearby you position it next to the wall and with a shot of your pistol, you blow it up.

You go through the wall into the basement of a house, the house is empty but you hear noises from outside. You ascended a stairwell up to the kitchen...it's a massacre.

Blood stained the walls as ribs and skulls littered the room, the distinctive smell of flesh filled the air, you felt like throwing up, looking around you find a staircase up to a bedroom- within this bedroom you find an upgrade: a lever action shotgun...

Groovy.

On a bed you also find pages from a journal, the writing is rough but it looks to describe the enemies you've encountered:

Leathernecks: the leathernecks are the hillbilly looking cultists with the brown sacks tied to their heads, their main attack is with a gas powered chainsaw, they WIIL rush you so keep your distance from them.

Mages: the mages are the main cultist members who wear white cloaks with a strange symbol on the torso, written with blood. They can summon fireballs from thin air and launch them, keep your distance and kill with projectiles.

Black Phillips: These undead goat bastards are the worse, they can ram into you and spit out an acidic ball of viscera at you and it hurts like fuck...high priority targets, they move quick as well...

Whoever wrote these is a godsend, you grab the pages and stuff them into your pocket as you jump out the window, doing a roll as you hit the ground...you see black Phillips and mages, which you quickly dispatched with your shotgun...

You followed a forest pathway for a bit until you reached and old wooden sign:

FARM- 0.3km

Looks like your next destination...you begin the trek, hoping that you would find anyone who isn't a crazed psychopath...
