RiftMode
I press the worn wood of my rosary between my palms. The carved beads cut into my hand, and I pray that the pain will keep me grounded in this musty decay of a long-abandoned hall. It is a cold and wet decade outside in the countryside, but in here there is only silence, and that has to be absolute. Every board under my feet seems to creak in fearful anticipation. The worn and peeling plaster of the decaying walls appears to be sagging under the weight of centuries. The icons in faded and worn colors seem to be sagging too. I am pressed up against a wall of cold stone, behind a shattered remnant of an altar. Something is moving in the dark of this space. It isn’t a large thing, and it doesn’t move like a man. It is slow and agonizingly so. I am holding my breath, trying to stop my body from shaking with fear. There are no weapons here. There are no relics of any kind that could combat whatever it is that is cruising these halls in search of whomever has invaded its space. Whatever it is feeds on the prayers of the faithful. And so, I am left to my faith, to my belief in all that I have ever known. But faith is a very frail shield. I am holding my rosary tightly, closing my eyes and beginning to pray in a low whisper, hoping that by the time the darkness locates me in all this blackness, dawn will have arrived.
Features include:
- Explore a rural, decaying, and oppressive environment as you uncover what lies behind a facade built upon silence and faith.
- Survive. Resources are limited, and sinister presences will force you to decide when to confront danger, when to hide, and when to flee.
- Hide. Use stealth and avoid the gaze of whatever lurks around you. Some entities can break you simply by their presence.
- Pray. Do not lose your faith. Hold on to it to stay on the path. And do not question the word.
Can you survive the sacred silence when every quiet step could be your very last? How long will your crumbling faith hold against the suffocating darkness waiting in the shadows?
