A dark veil casts itself over the historic village. Will you lift it?

Dark forces have overtaken the villagers through strange rituals, and it’s up to players to unravel sinister mysteries to prevent an unspeakable evil from being unleashed. Guided by live actors, Where Dark Things Dwell challenges players to explore the eerie village after hours and lift the curse before time runs out. As you follow a trail of clues through the shadowed streets, every discovery brings you closer to the truth and deeper into the darkness.
