Overview

Welcome to Hell City, USA, a place where a new drug called "Pig" has transformed homeless addicts into a terrifying wave of violent maniacs. Adding to the chaos is "Der Kannibale," a serial killer who not only butchers victims but feasts on them, leaving bizarre Bavarian clues like Oktoberfest beer at crime scenes. The FBI is on the ground, tasked with hunting this gruesome killer, while local law enforcement struggles to cope with the escalating brutality. You step into the shoes of FBI Field Photographer Thomas Greene. Unarmed and vulnerable, your survival depends on your wits and whatever makeshift weapon you can find – a two-by-four, a pipe, a fire axe, a shovel, a brick, or even a beer bottle. Your mission is to stay alive, document the horrors, and bring the cannibal to justice.
