Four strangers. A train. A masked ball. A tale of dark and troubling things in four acts. THE SILENT ROOM In a luxurious hotel room in Rome, freshly arrived from Turin, Carlo awaits for his lover Patrick to arrive. However, as the shadow of fascism looms ever larger, the tension of meeting in constant hiding is beginning to take its toll. THE SLOW VANISHING OF LADY WINTERBOURNE Lady Winterbourne has lost her husband in a tragic accident. Now letters from pretenders to her vast fortune keep arriving every day at her mansion, yet the only thing she's interested in is the bottle of laudanum in her cabinet. THE NAMELESS RITUAL Harassed, ridiculed and belittled by his peers, Dr. Jordan Samuels has resorted to the occult sciences in a desperate attempt to turn the tables on his tormentors. But is he truly ready to face the Guardian of the Threshold? IF ON A WINTER'S NIGHT As much as Laylah enjoys her job, sometimes she yearns for a bit of variety to distract her from her daily routine -- even if it means going against her very powerful bosses' orders.

Press reviews: “Delicious! What a ghastly little gem.” Eurogamer “Horror hovers on the edges of these tragedies, seeping from the cracks of a reality fractured by sudden calamity and the mind’s inability to deal with the fallout.” The AV Club “It’s a masterful blend of existential horror and mystery that wields its compact, pixelated form like a weapon, weaving together these short disparate stories into a cohesive whole.” PC Gamer
