How it begins
You are a pizza delivery boy, carrying nothing. Desther, one of your customers, wants you to rid his house of all the ghosts that are haunting it. Because Desther will pay you £15 for your trouble, you agree to the task, beginning in the entrance of the house.
Notable features
- Some gore and dismembered body parts.
- There is at least one way the player character can die. And when the PC dies, the game ends without giving the player any chance to undo the fatal move.
