'The child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth'

It didn't make much of a difference to Will's life when all of the grownups disappeared. His parents had been gone for a long time, only now, a darkness has arrived. A darkness that's moving. Perhaps, it was the darkness that swallowed up the grownups. Or perhaps, the real darkness will swallow them up from the inside, first.

It's Somewhere Beneath Us

17 parts Complete Mature

The house is safe. The hills outside are not. The basement is out of the question. Joel has been trapped in the house for what has felt like an eternity; all hope of escaping lost after the first few years. Without the company of the eight strangers who arrived with him, he would have gone mad long ago. But while living in the decrepit building is taxing, nothing could be worse than the thing downstairs. Everyone is content to just live in the six rooms that they know are safe until Joel learns that there may be something below. Something other than the creature that torments them. The house goes deeper, further down into the darkness. And while travelling through the unknown halls may be dangerous, and the thing downstairs is always following close behind, Joel is determined to find a way out of the nightmare he's found himself in; for his own sake, but more importantly, the sake of the people he loves.
