A corpse rises from the Jabayesh marshes… and with it, a terrifying supernatural horror awakens.

In the mist-choked swamps of southern Iraq, two hunters discover a body drifting in the reeds. What begins as curiosity soon unravels into a nightmare of forgotten gods, blood rites, and a curse older than the land itself. Every ripple carries a warning. Every shadow hides an omen. And once the marshes claim you… there is no return.
