A solitary soul finds herself in a church of orphans deep within the mountains. There, stench of death lingers night after night. Is her being there a simple coincidence? Or is it destiny? Why do its residents die? Who kills them? Why was she chosen to live there? These mysteries and more await in an adventure that is certain to unsettle as much as it does intrigue.(Storyline via IGDB)
