... Out of the mists of the loathsome sea,
The worm doth crawl, and the phantasm, the ghost, Looms larger with each passing day."

The role of the sacrificial lamb
isn't something you ever thought you'd take, but everything is about to change.

A group of people wakes up in the dark, cold stone of an underground temple, bruised and bloodstained, with no memory of how they arrived. A throbbing pain at the base of their necks reveals a strange rune carved into their flesh-the brand of the Lord of Murder, an ancient god of slaughter. They soon realize they were intended to be sacrificial vessels for the god's rebirth, chosen by a fanatical cult. But the ritual was interrupted before it could be completed, and they barely escaped, only to find themselves cursed.

Now marked, they feel the sigil's influence creeping into their minds, its hold tightening with each passing day, hour, minute, second-slowly turning them into mindless, bloodthirsty savages. They must rid themselves of the mark before they are lost to madness, doomed to become the monstrous avatars of the Lord of Murder himself.
