"Somewhere beyond the shadows your fate awaits....

In January, 1997, freelance occult journalist Akira was visited by a woman.  Her daughter had left on a trip with friends and never returned. She asked Akira to look for her. "These are the last things I received from my daughter...."
So saying she produced a stack of photographs of an old run-down mansion and unearthly spirits.  Greatly interested, Akira accepted and set off for Europe with his partner Angela.

Two weeks after accepting the assignment Akira found himself in a remote European village in front of the very house showing in the photos."
