Led by a deranged 'Pope', the cult seeks to use Oswald as a vessel to communicate with the outer god, Yog-Sothoth. Driven by the love for his wife, Theodora, Oswald must navigate through dimly lit corridors and avoid detection by patrolling monks.

Utilize your newfound abilities to intimidate and outsmart these not-so-clever cultists. As you search for Theodora and uncover grim truths, every decision brings you closer to freedom or eternal bondage. Will you escape their clutches, or succumb to the horrific fate they have in store?
