You have arrived in a village that seems to be deserted. However, you'll soon discover that first appearances can be very deceptive. The village of Tirich is under the influence of dark, supernatural forces that have manifested themselves in a menagerie of ghouls and demons. Your survival depends upon your ability to discover why strange creatures prowl otherwise peaceful streets. You must free Tirich from this unholy spell, or perish trying. A diary may provide some clues as to why these fearful events have come to pass, and that’s as good a place as any to begin your quest...
