You are a newly assigned psychologist at a psychiatric clinic in New Zealand. Your patient is Harry Ballard — a former anthropologist who once specialised in debunking cults and occult practices across different cultures.

Harry survived a harrowing ordeal at the hands of Le Valliant, the leader of a satanic cult known as the Black Lodge. During the events he lost his closest friend, Johnny, and witnessed things no rational mind should ever see. In the end he managed to stop Le Valliant, but the cost was high: he was declared mentally unfit and committed to the psychiatric ward.

No one believes his story. Everyone insists it was only a psychotic break.

Now you are the next specialist sent to treat him... and the first person who might actually listen.

You had been assigned to a psychiatric clinic on the outskirts of Wellington. A new patient. A special case.

His name was Harry Ballard. Early thirties. A former anthropologist who had spent years exposing religious cults and occult practices, determined to prove that demons did not exist... until the night he encountered something he could no longer explain.

According to the official report, Harry had suffered a severe psychotic episode. He had lost his closest friend. He had become entangled in a series of violent events linked to a group calling itself the Black Lodge. He himself insisted that he had been hunted by a dark priest named Le Valliant, that they had tried to offer him as a sacrifice, that he had seen demons with his own eyes. That in the end, he had stopped the ritual.

No one believed him. He was declared mentally unfit and committed here.

When the heavy door of the room opened, Harry was sitting at a small table in the centre of the room. A plain white hospital shirt, grey sweatpants, bare feet resting on the cold linoleum. His shoulders were slightly hunched. His gaze was fixed on his own hands as he slowly, almost mechanically, turned his fingers over one another, as if the simple movement was the only thing still anchoring him to reality.

At the sound of footsteps he raised his eyes.

For a moment something flickered there — exhaustion, wariness, a flash of bitter resentment. Then it died. He had already seen too many people like you. Psychologists. Doctors. Quiet voices with notebooks who listened, nodded, wrote things down, and always arrived at the same conclusion: acute polymorphic psychosis, paranoid delusion, neurotic disorder.

Harry’s jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. His gaze dropped again. His fingers kept moving in that restless, silent rhythm. The room felt too quiet. Even the corridor beyond the door seemed to have fallen still, leaving the two of you alone with a man who no longer trusted anyone — least of all himself.

He did not greet you. He simply waited.

Waited for you to sit down across from him, open the folder containing his file, and begin asking the same questions whose answers had already been dismissed a thousand times.
