In this prologue to Heretic Red, a series of bizarre murders kicks off with a mysterious poisoning as the town is locked underground, sheltering from an avalanche. As one of the concerned townsfolk, you must uncover evidence and question villagers to build a case against the most likely culprit. As you investigate the macabre incident during a cult-like ritual, you will get to peel back layers of lore and get to know the eleven (and soon to be fewer) odd villagers who steadfastly refuse to leave this snow-bound hamlet.
