Based in the fictional town of Overlook, Arizona, Mortals struggle against reality itself to survive in this wild west themed horror game. 24/7 Play with weekly ST scenes. Now accepting new players!
Along I-40 in Arizona, where Route 66 exists only in spirit, is the small town of Overlook. Most pass right by driving to beat the daylight, witnessing only the long, deep shadows that stretch across the arid ground. The parched earth, cracked and dusty, glowing with a warm, golden hue, while the rugged silhouettes of saguaro cacti stand tall and proud, their spindly arms reaching skyward. The sky, a canvas of fading oranges and purples, gradually softening into twilight, casting a serene glow over the landscape.
But you didn’t. You saw the scatter of weathered wooden buildings, their once-vibrant paint long faded by relentless sun and biting winds. A wooden sign at the town’s entrance, creaking on rusted hinges: “Welcome to Overlook!” You knew the moment you set foot out of your car, or stepped down off that Greyhound bus, or finally saw signs of life after hours of unsuccessful hitch hiking, that something about this place was wrong. An instinctual fear coiled in your gut.
You see Overlook isn’t like other places. And it doesn’t choose everyone. But it chose you.
The people of Overlook never were. And now, neither were you. Once you enter the town itself, the rest of the world forgets about you. Your family excuses your presence, the ink fades off your driver’s license, pictures of you disappear or are replaced by obvious alternatives. Leaving is easy enough to do, but those outside of the town forget you after moments of being out of their focus, making living elsewhere almost impossible. You yourself slowly begin to forget how to get back, unable to explain to others where you’ve been, or how to even find this place…
Most choose to stay in the Town that Isn’t. A space trapped in time from the Wild West and those who have come since and made it their own, scavenging, robbing, farming, and surviving. What’s more, the horrors that lurk in the borders beyond… the creatures in the dark that snatch the horses who roam too far, or the bellows of ghostly cries that come out of the cave networks… The citizens of Overlook are alone, but not entirely.
How will you survive? Will you stay and learn to thrive in a community that has been discarded by reality? Whether to solve the mystery or make sure the town has what it needs to carry on, everyone plays are part.
