Welcome to Hanwell

Hanwell, once a safe haven from the horrors of the world, now a cesspit of anomalous scum. There is something deeply unsettling about Hanwell. Unexplained noises, something in the corner of your eye or laying just beyond the shadows create an atmosphere that will keep you constantly on edge.
Monsters roam the streets. They occasionally get into the once protected buildings. What you do with them is up to you, be resourceful and pick up whatever you can find in order to fight them. Or run.
And don’t look back.
