You are Dr. Ian James McDermott, paranormal investigator, private detective, and practitioner of the forbidden arts. As lead investigator of the E.S.P.E.R. Society, you have been summoned to find Kathleen O'Neill and her young daughter Anna, last seen in the Willamette National Forest outside Salem, Oregon. This phenomenon is not restricted to this hapless mother and child... Six hundred thousand people go missing in similar conditions every year.
ESPER is a secret society founded in 1848 to stand in the gap between the darkness and the light. It stands for Extraordinary Supernatural Phenomena Explored and Revealed, but it's mission has extended far beyond the paranormal. It's agents have given up regular lives to keep watch o…ver the darkness and make sure it doesn't encroach on humanity.
For there are more things to fear in the night than shadows.

Horror games with 1990 vibes (i.e. very uncooperative characters, cooperative characters, accidental deaths, accidental intoxications, and more).
When the horror sets in you get genuinely scary moments. Remember to save!
This is a short horror game, made for a jam. It's quite moody and shows the investigation into the supernatural very well. I'm looking forward to the next games in the series. Recommended for horror fans!
