In "Damned, Forever", players take on the roles of four retired detectives who meet at Bodega Jægerstuen in Aalborg. It’s not for the sake of old friendships – but to confront a nightmare they thought they had buried 12 years ago, when they shot the serial killer who had terrorized North Jutland for over three decades. But now he’s back.

Before setting out to catch him, they revisit every detail of the case’s long and dark history, determined not to overlook anything this time. This is their last chance to stop him – for if they fail, they will never find him again.

"Damned, Foreve" is a grim tale of how a case can consume people from within. It’s the story of descending into darkness, losing oneself in the pursuit of answers, and discovering what one is willing to sacrifice to achieve justice.

The focus isn’t on solving the case, but on the people who were shaped – and destroyed – by it. Through flashbacks to the 32-year-long investigation, players journey into a dark and haunting version of North Jutland in their search for the truth.
