Synopsis

Quite unexpectedly, you received a telegram from your cousin Alan. A few years had passed since you last talked to him. It turns out that he now lives in Creek Town, a small settlement in the southern part of Louisiana. In his telegram, Alan warned about a looming danger so grave that it could affect thousands of people.

Now Alan was known to have had mental health issues in the past, so you didn't know what to make of this. Worried about the health of the cousin you hadn't seen in a while, you decided to pack your bags and pay him a visit.

When you approached the edge of town, your car had electrical problems and you had to stop at the local service station to get it seen to. You hoped to meet Alan while it was getting fixed and, in the meanwhile, uncover the truth about the looming danger that he alluded to.
