Finally, after years of hard work and months of saving, you’ve managed to start your new life as a food truck driver in the sleepy little town of Portly Hollow. How could you not be excited?
The locals are bizarre and off-putting, the town is packed to the brim with ominous history and unusual phenomena, and last but not least, there are the nightmares.
You’ve never been much of a heavy sleeper, but where your dreams were once barren and foreboding they’ve recently become markedly more hostile. Some manner of creature now stalks you during your restless nights, and it seems clear that it delights in your misfortune.
Where once there was isolation, there is now paranoia. Where once the sky and ground were swallowed by pitch black, there are now floating landscapes dressed in the skins of your past. Where once you would suffocate in desertion, now you are hunted in the ruins of your failures…
Is it the jitters that come with moving to a new town? Or is there something truly sinister about the quiet, chunky little town of Portly Hollow? Will your first week in this town also be the last?
You’ve come too far to back out now. Every obstacle in your life has led you to this point. Each destination before this has been a dead end on the road to a better life. You have no choice but to face these maladies head on.
Will you uncover the mysteries of Portly Hollow? Will you finally find respite in your tenebrous dreams?
Maybe, JUST maybe, your culinary background will give you an edge…
