As a sort of pseudo-sequel that connected the Nocturne mythos with the Blair Witch legacy, Rustin Parr is the first of three action-adventure games in the series. When the Stranger refuses to take the assignment, top Spookhouse scientist Elspeth "Doc" Holliday volunteers to investigate Rustin Parr, a hermit in Burkittsville, Maryland who was arrested after confessing to the ritualized murders of seven children. As the darkness closes in, Doc Holliday will have to use her agile mind and lethal weapons to protect the troubled township from the true nature of the horror lurking woods just outside the light.
