and destroy those who resist

"so they shall harm me not.

"Let the blood of many cleanse me,

"preserving beauty eternal, I pray you."

Welcome.

If you're listening to this.

it means you've made a grave mistake.

You spoke the words.

and soon you will die for it.

At this very moment. the evil of this place

courses through your veins.

You have been marked for death.

Your choice has brought you here.

to Gerouge Plantation.

Countess Elizabeth Bathory

opened Gerouge

as a finishing school for young...

- Gerouge.

- You've heard of it?

Yeah. Do you remember that grandma used to tell

us if we didn't get home before dark, we'd get taken off...

Yeah, but do you remember Grandma

used to wear panties on the outside?

Seriously, though, I know this, guys.

I've heard this story.

What happened to those girls

was so depraved

that all accounts were stricken

from public record.

The evil of Gerouge has been reborn.

Your salvation lies

beyond the gates of this plantation.

Your only chance is this:

uncover the horrible truth about

Gerouge Plantation and stop the evil.

But. in order to do that.

you must stay alive.

- My God.

- I'm starting to get a little creeped out.

- Sh!

- Shut the hell up.

- Where the hell are you going bro?

- Just trying to figure it out man.

- What is that?

- Whoa.

- You guys feel them?

- Hell, yeah. Feel it in my pants, baby.

- Must mean we're close to something.

- Or something's close to us.

God, you better pull your weapon, bro.

- How about somebody do something. Swink?

- No, I'm good.

How do you kill her?

She's already dead. Look out!

When fear cripples you.

when death's shadow surrounds you.

drop a rose.

It will help you stay alive.

Right. It'll give us a chance

to escape ghosts we can't face.

Yeah, the undead can't cross

the twig of a wild rose.

That is what you learn when you read

too much goth chick-lit. Lay off the incense.

And the game's fun,

but it kind of moves along at a snail's pace.

Left, go left, go left.

Left! On your left! On you left!

Left! Left!

Goddamn it, you noob!

OK. and you eat my nails.

and you eat my nails.

Go round the mausoleum. man.

Nice. And eat this.

Come on! Sweet Jesus, these dead b*tches

are coming out in droves.

Miller. the Bathory tomb.

in front of you.

Do not close the door. man.

Do not close the door. No! Oh. my God!

Hello, Mumsy.

- Whoa, whoa. What's that?

- What's... where?

- Right there. Is something in that wardrobe?

- Oh, nice eye.

Thank you.

- Congrats, Abs.

- It's a secret room or something.

- Is that a diary?

- Yeah.

The one from the beginning

with the prayer in it.

- Miller. are you OK?

- Yeah. No, I'm good.

Are you in those tunnels again man? Because there is

actually no action down there. The doors are locked.

Well, they're open now.

You know, I'm exploring, tearing sh*t up.

- Ownin' fools.

- "Ownin' fools"?

- I'm telling you, my controller is vibrating.

- You'd better drop a rose.

Now I'm out of... I'm out of...

I'm out of goddamn roses, man.

- Tell us what you see before you book it.

- Some sort of sick torture room or...

God, man.

I just saw a flash of dead girls, or...

Goddammit, man.

- Man, she got me.

- One of the girls?

Some woman, and I think it was the dame

from the painting. You know, that countess.

You know, I didn't even

get a chance to fight her, man.

-OK, where's the torture chamber?

- I went through a secret entrance you know.

Hey, are you gonna try

and get back in the game?

Well...

Hey, is somebody out there?

- Miller. who are you talking to man?

- I don't know.

Probably some goddamn rent-a-cop

trying to scare the sh*t out of the living.

You know what they say. You play

the game too long, you start seeing sh*t.

- You know, or have seizures.

- Games could cause seizures.

Perceptive of reality on the other hand,

has yielded some very interesting studies.

- And you've read them all?

- I have. It seems the longer you play,

the more your mind

perceives the game world to be a reality.

You know, It's really interesting, but it's only a theory of course.

But then there's is, you know, retinal memory, which...

That is so fascinating, sweetie,

but I'm feeling like we should call it a night.

Yeah, some of us

have gotta be at work.

All right.

Miller. you can rejoin us. then.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll check my schedule.

Thanks again for hanging, you guys.

I really needed it.

- To Loomis.

- To Loomis.

To Loomis.

All right. OK. OK.

Perceptive reality.

- Hutch!

- Loretta.

- What's going on? What's going on?

- What's going on?

- It's Miller.

Miller?

Miller. Miller!

Hey, it's a crime scene.

You have to clear out son.

Can I get a damn curtain over here?

- You don't understand, I just spoke to him a few hours ago.

- Whoa. A few hours ago?

- Get off me.

- All right, buddy. Come on. Come on.

Thanks.

I know this kind of thing ain't easy, son.

I'm gonna try to be quick about it.

You were here

with Mr. Banks last night?

Uh, no. I was at my house.

We were playing a video game.

Oh.

His wife said that he was working late.

Yeah, sorry. What I meant was, he was

playing from here and I was at my place.

- Just the two of you?

- I was with four friends, you know. We were online.

Uh-huh.

- Make sure we get those names.

- Roger that.

- Do you live close by?

- Yeah, uptown. Off Magazine.

Oh, yeah?

That's only ten minutes away.

You see, those figures could place you

at the scene of the crime.

Charlie, chill.

- I just wanna know what happened to him all right?.

- All right, now.

OK, if you ever need to give me a call,

my name is Detective Thibodeaux.

I may need to speak with you again.

And I'm sorry about your friend.

Thanks.

All right.

Sweet sh*t! Get a load of this!

I think I've found bossman's body.

- Oh, God!

- That's off-putting.

- Didn't you just say Miller was stabbed today Hutch?

- Man, I can't look at this.

Yeah, I think I'll have to quit

hanging around with you, brother.

Hutch I'm sorry. Phin, if you had any less sense,

you'd be half a penny.

Now shut the goddamn game up.

- Well, because we found Miller's body in it?

- It is a horror survival game.

I mean I hate to be a dick, but I think

you guys are overreacting just a little bit.

- Would you show some respect, man?

- Respect?

You pay respect to gamers by gaming,

so let's boot it up. To Miller.

- You know what suck man. You're not playing for Miller or Loomis.

- You didn't even know those guys, right?

Listen, If you wanna curl up in the fetal position

for the rest of the day, its fine, but don't expect me to.

And, as for you,

I just met you yesterday, so kiss my ass.

- Phin!

- What?

Look, why don't you guys get out of here

and let me play in peace?

Peace.

Hey, take it easy.

I'm sorry.

Are you OK?

- Yeah, I'm just having a hard time, you know?

- Yeah.

So Abigail, what's your story?

We don't know much about you,

other than you can't game for sh*t.
