The circus has come to town! All are invited in, but who will make it out?
​
So willkommen, meine Damen und Herren, to Frau Totenreich’s Circus of Screams! Roll up, roll up as the Fräulein gathers you all for the show of the century, guaranteed to have you ‘screaming’ with laughter.
​
The stage is set. The lights go down. As the curtain draws back the Fräulein welcomes the stars of her show. Let the games begin.
​
You see, her twisted troupe, each with their own sinister talents and tricks, are simply dying to "meat" you. It is a spectacle, that is for sure – but for whom?
​
Trust nothing. Trust no one. For here, nothing is as it seems. With your blood pumping - an essential ingredient of the Fräulein's favourite treat – it’s time to join the circus…
Centuries ago, Lockwood Marshes were home to a coven of witches. Driven by envy for those who had found love, they became twisted, vengeful beings. Desperate for a mate, they embraced an ancient ritual—sacrificing their eyes to gain supernatural powers, with which they could ensnare their prey. But as their power waned, they sought others, against their will, to join their coven and keep their dark magic alive.
​
Today, Lockwood Marshes are a natural wonder and one of St Nicholas’ most enchanting nature trails. However, ominous signs have emerged—missing children posters are appearing in the village. Whispers grow louder that the witches are returning, summoned from the past to exact their vengeance on unwitting visitors to their lands. The coven is hungry for their harvest.
​
Keep your eyes open, lest you lose them.
As scientists scramble for answers, District 19 stands as the last bastion against a viral outbreak unlike any before. Beyond its walls, the world is in chaos. Once-busy streets are now clogged with debris and burnt-out cars. Crumbling buildings cast long shadows where shapes move ominously. The infected, ravenous and desperate, lurk in the darkness, drawn to the scent of hidden survivors and their mounting panic.
​
But District 19’s days are numbered. The rising tide of infected threatens to overwhelm the already strained defences. The contagion is evolving, turning once mindless victims into even more dangerous predators. The only hope is to run, to flee the district and pray for safety elsewhere.
​
Armed only with your courage, you must navigate the perilous border zone. Every step leads deeper into danger, every shadow conceals a potential threat, and every creaking sound sends shivers down your spine. At any moment, the monsters could break through, hungry and ready to tear you limb from limb.
Will you escape, or join the ranks of the infected? Will you survive the Outbreak?
