How it begins
You awaken in an unfamiliar, white room, dizzy and fatigued. The last thing you remember is leaving your home to check on the situation outside, telling your family to keep the door locked no matter what. You are carrying nothing.
Trivia and Comments
This game was inspired by the following entry from H. P. Lovecraft's commonplace book: "The man who would not sleep—dares not sleep—takes drugs to keep himself awake. Finally falls asleep—and something happens."
