It was supposed to be a fresh start… instead, I got screwed by the past… When I was handed the keys to Willowrest Manor, I knew things weren’t going to be easy. A crumbling old B&B, rumors of apparitions, tales of missing guests… all of it clung to the walls better than the peeling wallpaper.

Surely it’s a nightmare… and the hands I feel all over me whilst I sleep must be my imagination… but what if it’s not? I should have run whilst I had the chance… less

It was supposed to be a night of fun… instead, it turned into a blood bath. An abandoned mine with a checkered history sounded like the perfect place for a night of debauchery.
