A Descent into Darkness
The game begins with Loreid being called to investigate a gruesome murder in the town of Arkhamend. As he delves deeper into the case, he discovers that the town is haunted by a dark secret. The things that go bump in the night are not just figments of the imagination, but real creatures from another dimension.
