June 19th, Shanghai, China.
 

As a young boy, you’ve eagerly listened to your grandmother’s stories about ghosts, ghouls, a mysterious place called YaoShan, the cursed Yin Ruins, and the tragic story of the Liu family. However, as much as you loved your nana, you’ve always treated them as thrilling fairytales told by a superstitious old woman. Until you were old enough to notice all the misfortune that has been plaguing your family for years. Being an inquisitive young man, you’ve started digging into your family history, quickly discovering that there’s much more to your beloved grandma’s stories than you thought. Oh, how you wish she was still around to answer all your questions.
 

But now you’re the only one that can lift your family’s curse. You could, of course, leave it all be, but instead you decide to hit the road, following clues left by your deceased grandmother, to find YaoShan. And of course, like every young, ambitious, and naïve boy, you’re completely unprepared for the horrors lurking beneath the thousand-year-old story…
