Something in the Soil

Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1639 Cast from your village after your father defies the judgment of its elders, your family seeks a new life in the untamed wilderness of New England. But two years of failed harvests, bitter arguments, and mounting hunger have left the homestead on the brink of ruin. When the death of your beloved cat leads you and your father to a strange burial ground hidden deep within the forest, its impossible return seems like a blessing—until your mother becomes convinced that something unholy has taken root in the land. Then your father dies, and with winter fast approaching, desperation drives you to commit a terrible act. Under cover of darkness, you and your father's lone servant carry his body back to the cursed ground, praying for a miracle. Three days later, something knocks softly upon your door. In a world ruled by faith and fear, you must decide whether the thing that has returned is truly your father—or something far older, wearing his face. *** Venture into a world inspired by Pet Sematary and the Witch. Try to survive and protect your new home from the dangers that lurk in the dark.
