A mind-bending supernatural thriller from the creators of This Present Darkness and Saint.

Rules that make no sense yet must be followed. One game. Seven players. Three rules. Game ends at dawn.

Something's out there... Reed Shelton organized this survival weekend. Hired the best guide in the region. Meticulously trained, studied, and packed while encouraging his wife, Beck, to do the same.
