An abandoned, run-down, but still standing house located somewhere in Australia. It was once owned by a scholar & researcher called Xavier Rahayem in the late 1800s.

The house is a simple 2-story house located deep in the woods. Many of the windows are boarded up & there are a few modern additions, such as a hidden safe in the bedroom. However, most of the house is old fashioned.

Xavier Rehayem moved to the house in 1877, the previous owner of the house is unknown. He moved in after the death of his wife, Julia, leaving only himself & his daughter, Gwen Rehayem.

Xavier was quite interested in all the ancient literature left in the house. One such book was the Book of Exmortis.

After he finished translating the book, things began to change. His daughter developed rageful tendencies & began having seizures, while Xavier himself began having ghastly nightmares. Eventually he began hallucinating, seeing things & hearing voices, while his daughter became cathartic, not responding to his attempts at conversation & silently shuffling through the house.

Eventually, after months of withering away, Gwen was killed by her father in an attempt to save her from whatever force had taken her. However, he failed.

After his failure he was unable to leave the house, trapped inside with the monsters infesting the house & visions of his dead daughter. Xavier himself died at some point.

The house still stands since then, untouched & unexplored, almost as if its trapped in time...
