Since Prye has a map and, unlike the characters in the movie is far too intelligent to kick it into the river, the 'lost in the woods' effect is lost on the player. This is presumably meant to evoke the spookiness of the woods in the original movie but the effect instead only causes long, boring periods of Prye running around lost. Even more annoying is the long, circuitous travels throughout the Blair Township woods.

Conversely, if he doesn't receive the Burning Cross weapon before entering Elizabeth Styler's house, he is guaranteed to die in a death trap against a demon immune to normal weapons. The game's storyline seems forced as Prye cannot leave Blair until he speaks to certain individuals. As Asgaya Gigagei, Prye's shaman tutor explains: 'The White Man did not respect Hecatomix and make sacrifices to him, so now he is so angry he destroys all human children to destroy the future of civilization.' Now, Prye must rescue the children and defeat the demons by faith and firearm. The game seems to imply that Elly Kedward is innocent and the murders are caused by a demon known as Hecatomix. He treads the path between Christianity and Shamanism to defeat the forces of evil. The core of the game is intriguing enough: Jonathan is a man tortured by his own lack of faith. By winter's end, over half the town's children vanish, including all of her accusers. A week later, Kedward's main accuser disappears.

In November, on the night of the first snowfall, the daughter of the town magistrate vanishes. The Blair Township parents discover her crime, find her guilty of witchcraft and bind her to a wheelbarrow in the woods, leaving her for dead in the middle of a particularly harsh winter.

An old woman, Elly Kedward, lures several local children into her house and draws their blood.
