They say you can' t go home.
Burt Cromartie would agree. Something unspeakable happened to him in the attic of his childhood home. He'd hoped to never return. But, now the house is his, and with no job and dwindling savings, he's forced to accept the curse willed to him by his horrid parents. Whatever Burt left behind in the dusty attic has been waiting, patiently, for him to come back.
The gate to hell is a simple wooden door, a set of creaking stairs, a musty room that is never, truly empty.
There's no running from the thing in the attic.
Welcome home, Burt.
It's just dying to meet you.
