In the outskirts of Erie, an old farmhouse still stands in silence, its walls heavy with a tale the townsfolk don’t dare repeat after sundown.
Long ago, a farmer uncovered a cruel betrayal — his wife and her secret lover meeting under his very roof. In a fit of rage, he took up his axe, and by dawn, two lives had ended.
By day, the farmhouse feels almost ordinary. With light on your side, the truth behind the legend waits to be pieced together from the remnants left behind.
But at night, the story shifts. The lights vanish, the halls creak, and whispers stir as though the dead themselves still linger. In the dark, every step feels watched, every sound cuts sharper, and the farmer’s fury lives on in shadow.
Can you solve the mystery before the past catches up with you — or will you join the legend of Axe After Dark?
