Paranormal Cryptid Lovers

■Synopsis■

Open-minded, brave, and impatient, you’re passionate about monster movies and filmmaking. In fact, you’ve got plans to spend this last summer before film school making a movie with your friends! Or at least, you did until your mom roped you into staying with your eccentric Uncle Gary in the small town of Everly Springs…

Now you’re stuck working at his video store, swapping ghost stories with your coworker, Kit. You figure this summer’s a bust, but once Uncle Gary starts talking about the local legends, you’re rushing to grab your camera.

Within 48 hours, you fall straight into the arms of Prince Gil, a swamp man, and you also get swooped up by the local Owlman—Erebus. Will your sleuthing bring you closer to the truth of their existence or will you find yourself falling head over heels for the legends themselves?

■Characters■

Meet Kit — The Paranormal Fan

Despite his punk clothing, Kit’s a kind soul, albeit somewhat mysterious... Born and raised in Everly Springs, he originally had plans to go to college for screenwriting, but now he’s just working at the video store with you. Kit doesn’t believe in the legends and creatures of the town, and while he’s not rude about it, he has a perfectly reasonable explanation for all of it… so far.

Meet Prince Gil — The Swamp Man

A standoffish, arrogant swamp man who lives in the local springs, Prince Gil used to be a jovial and charismatic guy, but years of being Everly Springs’ primary tourist attraction have left him with a poor opinion of humans. As a result, he hasn’t been seen in the area in quite some time. Now that a development project is threatening his underwater kingdom, he may be forced to call upon you for help…

Meet Erebus — The Owlman

Erebus is an enigmatic, intelligent Owlman with psychic powers and super speed. He accidentally revealed himself to a group of teenagers in the 1950s and quickly became one of Everly Springs’ many urban legends. He hides away to protect himself from those who would harm him in the name of scientific study, but the forest has been growing lonely, and his heart yearns for someone to understand him…

Meet Alexander — The Ghost

A shy, yet charming ghost who haunts the video store owned by your uncle, Alexander is the son of the town’s founder, and died tragically young at just 18. He despises what Everly Springs has become, and mostly keeps to himself, but he’s become intrigued by you. When a new developer arrives, Alexander sees a golden opportunity for him to influence things from the afterlife and finally get his way…
