You meet a long-haired man named Hogan and a mysterious black-haired man named Rylan in town. They both claim it’s their first time visiting the town, but Hogan seems oddly familiar with the atmosphere of the place.
You speak with the town doctor, Cassius, and the priest, Laura. They warn that an outbreak has occurred in a nearby town and that this town might also be affected. Feeling uneasy, you head home—but are suddenly attacked by an infected person who injects you with something.
Normally, infected people lose their sanity, yet this one seemed to be under someone’s control. Hogan and Rylan appear just in time, saving you and leading you to a safe place. The three of you head to a nearby shelter, where Cassius is already treating survivors. Cassius remarks that he has seen Hogan somewhere before. You offer your blood for treatment, but strangely, it has no effect.
