A distress call from his friend Johnathan sends the player to a remote campsite, where a dead camper and Johnathan's abandoned shotgun are the first signs that something has gone horribly wrong. A cult is conducting a dark ritual in the forest — and Johnathan is bound to one of the stakes, thrashing wildly. After breaking up the ritual, the player must survive wave after wave of cultists before confronting Johnathan, who has been transformed into a deadly whitetail and will now stop at nothing to kill the one person who came to save him.
