🔗 This program in Kompassi

It’s 1992. You are a group of paranormal investigators based in Germany, driven by your curiosity about phenomena that science cannot explain.

People call you when the authorities dismiss their claims. You understand how that feels—your friends and family don’t believe you either. Some think you’re frauds, while others see you as fools who take ghost stories too seriously.

But you have felt Their presence. Perhaps you have even seen Them. You don’t need belief. You know that darkness conceals Them.

Now you are driving together to a remote German town called Oberammergau. A colleague of yours, Hans Guma, has been staying in a forest cabin near the town. You don’t know why he was there. All you have is a message he left for one of you in a dream.
