    So, I’m sitting in a creepy house playing paranormal investigator with a machine that can listen to the past, but only if I can tell it exactly when, where and who was present. I’m supposed to be investigating a series of deaths, but they’re…weird. I’ve personally listened to three of the deaths happen, none of them with an obvious proximate cause of death, and one of them at the very beginning of the time span the machine can reach. Somehow the deaths are also connected to the weather?, and also trigger agnosia of the victim’s identity, including one man forgetting his lady entirely mid-sentence when she dies while they are together. One person seems potentially at least partly immune to this effect, since she has asked about her daughter after her daughter died, while everyone else has forgotten her daughter ever existed at all aside from the corpse of an unknown person being found.

    Amusingly, there’s one guy wandering the house during the timeline who talks about how he used to live there, but isn’t sure why he showed up other than nostalgia, and is very angry that the house is in the hands it is instead of his own - this is because the first victim was the owner of the house and his brother who invited him and absent knowing he ever had a brother, things fit together…weird.
