Seeing the hopelessness of the local PD, he decides to take the matter into his own hands. The trail leads him to the old mansion owned by a mystery horror novelist, who, as it turns out, also vanished without a trace. Believing those disappearances are not a coincidence, David goes to the manor. He ventures into the unknown...(Storyline via IGDB)
