The Demons Told Me to Make This Game begins in the town of Red Hive at 5:00 AM on October 26, 2016. This moment marks the beginning of the last day of the world: a blood ritual is completed and a spirit named Dark Wisp appears in the Void. As this incorporeal entity, the player cannot directly interact with the physical world. The main method of influence is to possess the inhabitants of the town and whisper instructions in their ears to direct their actions.
