You are listening to music while meandering the downtown streets of your hometown when -- YEARGH! -- you fall down an open maintenance hole. Luckily, you don't hurt yourself upon landing at the bottom of a creepy tunnel. That's because you've fallen on a DEAD BODY. A dead body of a municipal worker that has scratch marks AND bite wounds on his neck. You call up for help, but nobody can hear you, and the ladder appears to have been ripped right off the stone wall, like somebody or something was trying to prevent anyone from getting back out.
