After receiving a strange video message from his wife Mia—who vanished three years earlier—Ethan Winters follows a faint trail to a rotting plantation deep in the Louisiana swamps. What starts as a hopeful search spirals into a waking nightmare when he finds himself trapped inside the decaying Baker estate, a home twisted by violence, infection, and something far worse than madness. Hunted by the Baker family—each member warped into something brutal and almost unkillable—Ethan must uncover the truth behind the bio-weapon turning the household into monsters. Every room hides another threat, every hallway echoes with something lurking just out of sight, and every escape brings him closer to a living secret that binds Mia to the heart of this horror. To save her, Ethan has to push through a labyrinth of fear, unravel the origins of the infection, and confront the entity controlling the Bakers. But in this house, survival isn’t just about fighting back… it’s about holding on to who you are before the darkness takes everything.
