What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Jessica remains alone in a nearly closed police station while supernatural threats escalate around her.
The ghostly threat is tied to cult leader John Michael Paymon and his followers’ deaths.
Empty corridors, jail cells, the armory, and abandoned police facilities become sources of escalating dread.
Jessica’s first assignment as a police officer places her alone in a station facing an occult threat.
