An Ancient Heritage.
A Silent Coastal Town.
A Ritual Older Than Humanity.

Summoned by the traditions of his forefathers, a lonely traveler arrives at the isolated, snow-covered fishing village of Kingsport, Massachusetts, for the Yuletide celebration. But this is no ordinary holiday. The ancient, steep-roofed town is eerily silent, its narrow streets winding like a labyrinth between shuttered houses that seem to belong to a forgotten century. Driven by a deep sense of ancestral duty, he joins a crowd of cloaked, hooded figures walking in absolute, soundless unison toward the town's highest point—a sinister, colonial church.

But what lies beneath the church is a nightmare that defies human reason. Led down into the subterranean depths of the earth, the traveler is forced to witness a blasphemous, prehistoric ritual dedicated to entities that ruled the world long before the dawn of man. Amidst a sea of pale, unholy flames and the rhythmic chanting of things that never should have lived, he realizes that his family line is bound to a cosmic horror from which there is no escape.

Experience one of H. P. Lovecraft’s most visually striking and atmospheric tales of cosmic dread.
