A murder has taken place at the home of an administrative director at a top government agency. Players find themselves on the case as they explore the manor, while being pursued by a spirit still hanging from the rope around her neck. The trailer features scenes where the player hides under a bed and in a closet to wait for the spirit to pass by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A table still lined with food. Blood covered weapons and slippers scattered around the hallway. A corpse just visible between the opening of a door. A rope still hanging from a light fixture.
