A Mother's Grief
PCFree
Winter, 1892. In a remote cabin, a grieving mother named Elara lost her daughter, Lily, to a fever. Consumed by grief, she performed a forbidden ritual hidden inside the cabin's walls to bring her daughter back. The girl returned - but her eyes were black, her voice a whisper of static, and she spoke in tongues. The thing that came back has worn Lily's face for eight years... and it is still in the cabin. Waiting. You are a hunter of places with dark histories. Enter the house. Look. Prove what happened.
