An engineer in a structurally unsound city, investigating damage while encountering fiendish puzzles and eerie paranormal events? Sign me up!

Yep, in a unique mash-up of Myst and Fatal Frame, your job is to photograph hazards and suspicious activity and staying alive while doing so. Navigating crumbling abandoned buildings certainly lends the game a creepy vibe, so maybe running into some cultist activity isn't completely out of the question. But is it the kind you've come to expect from horror games? Nooooo, siree!

Using the noclipping tool once again, travel up through an impassable trapdoor on the ceiling of a small room to find a congregation of wellington boots all pointed towards one wearing a red hat. There's no explanation as to what's going on here - what you see is what you get.

True, it's possible the gathering is something other than an actual cult. Are we witnessing a late-night theatre show, a <i>literal</i> stand-up routine, or even a planned uprising against their oppressive wearers?

Given the game's supernatural themes, though, it's easy to lean towards the creepier interpretation. Who knows what dastardly plans those fiendish footwear were cooking up before you barged in...
