Description

Book collectors are a nasty bunch, and Francis "Nihil" Welliver might be the worst. Still, he pays well, and it is not like you have to marry him. All you have to do is get a book out of a mansion in Iowa. Another book pervert, billionaire Dexter Longhorn, owns the only extant copy of THEY EAT THEIR OWN, a lost Great American Novel from the 60s. You have the hardware, you have the expertise. Easy peasy. The game tries to combine an action movie heist with Thomas Ligotti-inspired horror.

Content Warnings: Violence, body horror, futility, industrial horror, heist tropes
