The game's story is set in a detailed environment inspired by a haunted attraction, featuring a well-crafted narrative that complements the atmosphere and characters. While the story is engaging, it is noted that it is not the primary focus of the experience.
- “I am a 5-year veteran haunt actor for Terror in the Corn in Eerie, Colorado, and this game sets the pace for a whole Ravens Gulch town, Wells Hotel, and cornfield storyline. We have very detailed elements that are close to what we have at the actual haunt!”
- “Great atmosphere, great characters, great scares, and a pretty decent story, although that isn't the main focus.”
