In the highly anticipated horror game The Murderer of Pfaltzgraff Manor, players control the character Adrian—a handsome young man who happens to be the reincarnation of the devil—with the goal to kill as many people as possible to satisfy Lilith’s curse. However, fans are tearing it to shreds because it’s way too hard to beat. One night, after drunkenly attempting to rack up that digital kill count, a player falls asleep and wakes up in the world of the game—but as Hilda, one of Adrian’s maids. And Hilda is a convenient source of human flesh for Adrian’s murder quest. Where’s the “escape” button when you really need it?! Can Hilda outwit and outlast the literal devil, or will this review-bombed horror game become her grave?
Trapped in a horror game and running from the literal devil, the player known as Hilda the maid is barely managing to keep one step ahead of her doom. In real life, Hilda was a hardcore gamer and knew how to take advantage of a game’s mechanics. But The Murderer of Pfaltzgraff Manor was review-bombed for a reason—the game’s difficulty is way off the charts. Every time Hilda thinks she’s figured out how the game works, it throws her a curveball. Not good when a “game over” screen could result in her actual death! When Adrian’s mysterious doctor arrives, it sets in motion a chain of events even Hilda can’t outrun. Could the game’s faulty affinity system be the key to her survival?
