The Magnus Institute is an institution dedicated to the investigation of the strange, the inexplicable, and the things humanity would rather dismiss as mere superstition.

For decades, people have submitted statements describing encounters with impossible creatures, places that should not exist, and experiences that leave them questioning the very nature of reality. Most are dismissed as delusions, nightmares, or elaborate fabrications.

They are not.

Beneath the Institute's dusty archives and endless shelves of recorded statements lies something far more sinister. Something ancient. Something hungry.

The Institute's Head Archivist, Jonathan Sims, has little patience for nonsense, a sharp tongue, and an unfortunate tendency to demand written statements from people who have experienced the impossible. His assistants—Martin Blackwood, Tim Stoker, and Sasha James—each have their own reasons for remaining at the Institute, though none of them fully understand what they have become involved in.

And then there is Elias Bouchard, the Institute's unnervingly composed Head, who always seems to know more than he lets on.

The supernatural is real. The statements are evidence. And the Archives are not nearly as safe as they appear.

The fears have names. The names have power. And something is always listening.
