In the depths of the Ancient Steppe appeared a weird town. Once a small
settlement scattered around the monstrous Abattoir, it unexpectedly developed into
a mysterious, isolated establishment with an odd social structure. This odd society
has managed to survive for several generations. It could have continued to aspire,
were it not for a sudden outbreak of some enigmatic, lethal and inescapable disease,
which begins to mercilessly slaughter the denizens inhabiting the area. Even science
has proven helpless in finding a cure, or at least providing some explanation. Three
outsiders arrive in the contaminated town. The first was a highly-educated Bachelor
with a ruthless manner of investigation, assigned by the provincial authorities. The
second one is a far-sighted Ripper with a reputation of an ingenious surgeon, in
search of his father's terrible heritage. The last character is an eccentric girl,
possessing mystic healing abilities, that could become the town's heavenly salvation
were it not for the constant fear in her dejected eyes and fresh memory of the horrors
of her recent past. Each of them must survive in this hell and play a vital role in
the fate of the doomed town. It's a bizarre combination of first-person game,
role-playing features, non-linear plot and real time flow. The town has a life of
its own, it constantly changes and adequately reacts to the player's behaviour and
random circumstances including the heroes - when one is chosen, the two rejected
heroes act on their own, plotting against the player.
