"Be drowned in clean water to clean yourself of your sins, burn to shave off your dishonest tissue, consume Lysergsäure to enlighten your soul, starve so you can reach your rawest mental state. When your physical body weakens, the more your mind strengthens."

Such reads a passage in the diary of Arsène, the recently brutally murdered member of an infamous religious sect - now suspected cult - in your town. Read his diary to find out what caused his gruesome death.
