Licensed to and published by Soft Source Pte Ltd A Town Full of Secrets Villa Jesús, a small town located on the southern border of Chile, relies on the local mining and fishing industries for its livelihood, with many residents dependent on the exports of the Wild Burger & Jesús Seafood Processing Plant. This closed-off community has found support in the difficult times thanks to the spiritual guidance of Virgin Mary Lucia and her sisters. After her sister Anna is abducted, Caroline wakes up in this deserted town and must explore a number of locations shrouded in unease. The ruined splendor of the Lucia Convent, the dilapidated entertainment complex Galeria Luna Shopping Mall, the somber atmosphere of a cemetery mausoleum, and the eerie silence of the hallways of an abandoned high school… What awaits her is a world far from peaceful.

Tortured cultists, slithering, blade-like creatures, and grotesque creatures covered in barnacle-like growths slither through the vents, all targeting her. But the truly terrifying entities are those possessing overwhelming power that lurk deep within the Other Side. To confront them, challenges await that cannot be overcome with firepower alone. Fortunately, Caroline’s arsenal has been significantly improved. Powerful equipment, such as an Automatic Nailer that fires a rapid succession of sharp nails and a Hand Cannon with triple barrels that can blow away even large creatures, will help her survive.
Additionally, the Quick Select feature lets you instantly switch weapons during battle, and upgrades further enhance weapon
performance. You’re ready to overcome unprecedented challenges.

When Caroline and her sisters arrive at the convent, Mother Lucia’s clever trap awaits them. She reveals the true nature of the horrifying contract she made with her grandfather, Noah
Morissette. But what is Lucia’s true goal? What is she trying to do to Anna? And why is Caroline’s body pierced by countless crude needles?

Each of them has a hidden past, but with no one to turn to, Caroline reluctantly teams up with them and decides to pursue the truth.
