This is a game about a recurring nightmare I had as a kid. Each night, I would find myself standing on a balcony, staring into the quiet dark.

And every night... he was there.

A man — no, something wearing the shape of a man — with the head of a wolf and red eyes. He never spoke. He just watched. Until he started walking. And no matter how many times I woke up, the dream always came back.

Face the nightmare. Or be eaten by it. Again and Again.

Throw yourself down the rabbit hole of this detective styled horror novel.

The first of the series, this disturbing bad dream of a CYOA is unlike anything you have read before.

Why should you explore this place? Because this is only the beginning of a mystery that is going to unravel across multiple games, some interactive fiction, some 3D and some… well, you’ll see…
