What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Richard Wirth's Third Reich commission and ritual project connect Nazi ideology with Viking rune-stones in West Virginia.
Wirth's occult experiment sustains his power for decades while deforming and exploiting the Wollner family.
The 1936 prologue establishes Wirth's arrival and ritual, while the main revenge mission unfolds in 2007.
The Wollner farm and Town Creek isolate the characters from outside help and contain the occult survival game.
