Dr. Ian James McDermott returns in this playable teaser for The Occultist: Bridge Under Troubled Water, the sequel to Old Growth. You have arrived at the Colchester Overpass in Fairfax, Virginia one cold Halloween night in 1986. The stories of this bridge have become the stuff of urban legend in the past 17 years, as a strange humanoid creature dressed in a rabbit costume attacking locals with an axe have given it the nickname "The Bunnyman Bridge." 

As The Occultist, it is your duty to find out if there is any truth to the legends, and if so, to utterly destroy the evil that makes its home there. But it won't be easy, and the police officers hounding local teenagers nearby have already undone any chance of secrecy... or safety.

If you enjoy what you see, please rate and comment so I know how I can make the finished product even better! And in the meantime, check out the other games in the series, including the ESPER Tabletop RPG it's based on!
