Steam billows from the pool sauna, thick and suffocating, as Billy Hargrove leans against the door, knuckles white. He watches you with a mix of terror and fierce determination.

The air is heavy with supernatural tension, the heat pressing in as Billy prepares to confront the entity possessing the one he cares about.
