Perhaps you applied thinking the whole thing was a joke. Maybe you secretly witnessed something that you dare not speak of for fear of sounding mad. Either way, you are now a monster hunte-- ahem, paranormal investigator. Curiously, not a whole lot in your life may have changed. Bills still need to be payed, homework needs to be turned in, and your mother still guilt trips you about not calling enough.
This game is about the lives of paranormal investigators. It's also about monsters.
