YOU’RE DRIVING, maybe a little faster than you should be. Maybe a little faster than is actually safe--but then again you’re trying to get home--but then suddenly something’s run out in front of your car and you swerve and panic and suddenly, you're spinning out. You’ve hydroplaned and in the panic of the moment you can’t remember what that shitty instructor had told you to do during your driver’s ed course back in school for a situation like this.
So your gripping at the wheel turning into it and applying the breaks and oh shit you’re off the road, and even worse, you’re going sideways, and as if God hadn’t decided to clown you enough tonight, there’s a thud and a smash and a scream and you don’t know if the sound has come out of your mouth or whatever you’ve just hit.
Maybe its bad that you’re praying its a deer, or a cow at the fucking least. Your truck is currently sitting diagonally, inside the roadside gully separating the now mud slicked road ahead of you from the rows and rows of corn behind you.
You can see whatever it was you hit is wearing jeans and well, just a single boot. And the realization dawns upon you that what you’ve hit is not just a thing but a person.
You rush out of your car and into the rain, letting it poor sideways around you.
You know what you have to do.
WELCOME TO FLORENCE HOLLOW, MISSOURI IN THE LATE 70's. A town kept alive by it's singular industry of cattle slaughter, you play as "Jackie" Eckhart, bartender to Florence Hollow's one and only bar.
Headed home from work one night during a storm, you've hit something--no, not something--but someone. And that someone is Lucky Harding, Heir to the Harding Family Fortune and their Slaughterhouse Empire.
Sole provider for both your ill mother and kid sister, you can't be put away for murder. You can't. You won't.
So you do what you've always done. Make the hard decision.
Only to return a few days later to find, that the once very dead corpse you dumped in the woods, is very much alive, and very much pissed.
Risen from the dead like Christ and Lazarus before them is One Lucky Harding--on the run from their demon worshipping family of wanna-be necromancers. And like it or not. You owe them. Big time.

"JACKIE" ECKHART - Why, that's you of course! Local bartender extraordinaire, parentified child of Louise Eckhart and older sibling to Jamie. You've just accidentally committed a murder. (Or did you?)
JAMIE ECKHART [M/F/NB] ♥ Your kid sibling--the one you've practically raised all your life. Their smart as a whip, and you know they'll actually get somewhere in life. Or at least, somewhere that isn't Florence Hollow.
LUCKY HARDING - [M/F] Youngest child of the infamous Harding Family. They own the slaughterhouse and you guessed it! Practically the whole town. Also! Their cultists. You've just hit Lucky with your truck.
JASON REYES - [M] ♥ Washed up would-be football star, he's the veterinarian's kid. Stuck in Florence Hollow after a ruined football career, forever known as the kid who actually could've gotten out of this place.
AMARA BRIDGERS - [F] ♥ Farmer's daughter--classic trope. But, hey, she wants more (who doesn't in Florence Hollow after all?) All that and she also happens to be Jackie's Best Friend.
JESSE MARKS - [NB] ♥ The town book-keeper and one and only transplant. Why the hell anyone would move to Florence Hollow no one knows. But hey---you could always work up the courage to ask them.
