About

Derrek lives with his mother, his father, is said to still be serving the country making some sort of medicine that can heal a human being via drinking some sort of substance. Derrek has never been allowed past the second floor, where his bedroom is, his fathers workshop takes up everything from the third floor, and The Attic. The story begins with Derrek reminiscing about his past, when him and his father used to sit on the deck outside of his bedroom as a young child. Derrek realizes, now that he is almost ready to make a family, and move into his own mansion, he should find out what is going on, and why his dad has been missing for 16 years, and why his mother has never said anything. The player (you) begins the story when Derrek comes to this realization, and must continue through the adventure, revealing secrets of a family secret, that will forever tear him apart, so long as nothing tears him apart first.
