Sheridan, Wyoming. 2026. At 32, you've returned to your childhood home to pack up your late parents' belongings. Among them is a framed newspaper from the day you were born, featuring an amusing article about a supposedly haunted house. Your house, as it turns out. But you grew up here, and it was never haunted.

Then a strange light appears in the newspaper's reflection.

Suddenly, it's October 1993. The house is empty, familiar details have vanished, and something inside the walls is very much awake. You haven't even been born yet.

A mysterious symbol and a neighbor across the street offer your first clues. Can you uncover the haunting's secrets? Find a way home? Or change the history of the house you thought you knew?

Your childhood home was never haunted. But someone had to make sure of that.
