The role play takes place at the old but beautiful Rusty Lake Hotel. The hotel has a dark past, and its current owner, Mr. Owl, has his own devious plan for the guests. By accepting the invitation, the characters are drawn into a nightmarish web of mystery, manipulation and supernatural forces.
The characters are forced to confront their feelings about Laura's disappearance and the secrets they have kept hidden, all of which help to drive the plot forward. They all have different relationships with each other, and over the course of the scenario, you find out whether the grief and their secrets will bring them back together or push them even further apart. Each role has their own secret that threatens to be revealed if they dig too deep into the hotel's mysteries.
The game takes place in the present and is based on the real world, but you soon find out that there are supernatural things at play.
There is a focus on the play and the relationships between the characters as well as the difficult choices they will face.
