"What the actual HELL is going on here tonight?!"

Nine college students rent out a lodge on top of a small mountain. They've got a place to be the next day, their high school reunion namely, and so they need somewhere to spend the night on this summer day. Things quickly take a turn for the worse however. The disappearance of their ninth member has caused tensions to heighten within the group, the owner of the lodge seems like a right nutcase who's definitely hiding something and the mysterious family with a secret next door seem to already have a vendetta against them. There's also a sinister force lurking in the shadows and they're not very happy with our characters. Take control of each of the nine protagonists and make choices in this interactive story! Will the eight survive, die or suffer a different fate entirely? You won't believe what you'll become...

An interactive story heavily inspired by The Quarry and Until Dawn

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
