Story
Everything begins with Inspector Falkenberg, an investigator following the trail of a mysterious crime. His research leads him toward a sinister force connected to the old Smidraw family. What he does not realize is that his investigation has already drawn the attention of a dangerous cult. Before Falkenberg can uncover the truth, he is brutally murdered by its members. His knowledge remains incomplete, but his notes hold the key. At this point, two young private detectives take over the case. They aim not only to solve Falkenberg’s murder but also to unravel the mystery behind the disturbing events. Their search for answers takes them to different locations: abandoned buildings, the cursed Smidraw farm, and a small town overshadowed by fear. Step by step, they realize the true extent of the threat. The murders are no coincidence. The perpetrators are under the influence of a curse rooted in the ancient writings of the Smidraw grandfather, who once performed a forbidden ritual. By doing so, he unleashed the Wild Hunt, an ancient, mythical power that has haunted the world ever since. Trapped in a web of madness, superstition, and possession, the detectives must uncover the origin of the curse. Will they succeed in breaking the spell, or will they themselves become part of the Wild Hunt?
