Introduction

The Story So Far

Three years ago, Police Detective Sebastian Castellanos was called to the scene of a brutal slaughter in Krimson City’s main psychiatric hospital, Beacon Mental Hospital.

At first glance, it looked like the work of a twisted mass murderer, but soon Sebastian was trapped in something darker, stranger, and more frightening that he could have ever imagined.

Sebastian was unknowingly connected to a machine called STEM which creates a world for all those connected to share a consciousness. At the center of this world was a madman named Ruvik. A shadowy organization known as Mobius had developed this STEM technology for their own unknown purposes, but Ruvik took control to create his own nightmarish reality.

Sebastian managed to survive his STEM immersion and escape from the monsters and horrors born from Ruvik’s mind. However, Sebastian’s run-in with Mobius and STEM had really only just begun…

After three years of a frenzied search for the truth, Sebastian is now broken: lost in drink and inescapable dark visions. But then his ex-partner Kidman suddenly appears out of the blue. Sebastian learns that the only way to escape the bad dream is to plunge back into a new Mobius nightmare.
