About This Game

In the summer of 1893, three days before the World's Columbian Exposition closed in Chicago, something terrible entered the world through a demonstration in the Electro-Spiritualism Exhibit. Guests were lured to an Evanishment Room and never returned. The exhibits were quietly shut down, workmen refused to dismantle them, and the fair died around them. By January 4, 1894, strange lights were seen in the abandoned hall. Through The VOID, you travel back to that night over a century ago, in groups of four, choosing from six personas and exploring the decaying ruins of the once-hopeful fair. Your goal: explore the exhibits and do not get caught by the demon. His name is Nicodemus.
