A town dedicated to housing, studying and ultimately "digesting" those who were cursed for violating some ancient cultural taboo. The townspeople are not living people, but "things" that maintain their human form by strictly adhering to a complex and strange set of "folk customs". The new "cursed" must decipher the core secret of the town's operation - the "initial taboo" before being completely assimilated into the town or reduced to a "sacrifice" for rituals.
