Judging by the description, the events will take place in Iraq in 2003. CIA Task Force member Rachel King joined a special task force to investigate a suspected underground facility in the shadow of the Zagros mountain ranges, which is believed to be secretly producing chemical weapons. As we remember, the formal reason for the US invasion of Iraq was precisely the allegations that the latter had weapons of mass destruction.

All horror anthology games tell separate stories with different characters. They are united only by the cinematic presentation and the mysterious figure of a certain all-knowing observer known as the Curator. This hero exists outside of time and writes stories about life and death for the section of the vault for which he is responsible, has been doing this for thousands of years, and has long forgotten how it all began. For reasons incomprehensible even to himself, he got the opportunity to communicate with the player, he can give hints, but he is not able to interfere with what is happening. The Curator is played by British actor Philip Torrens, best known for his films The Crown and The Preacher.
