Dement

Dement is a dark adventure about finding Lily, a girl who goes missing as darkness spreads through the towns of Quiet Mountain and Wolfvale in Washington. A mysterious book, a missing girl and corrupted creatures are tied together in the search to recover someone you love. The forces twisting the world leave reality dependent on what you perceive.

Lily and the towns

Lily lives with her father in Quiet Mountain, a small town in a mountainous region. She is cheerful and caring, though she is unpopular at school and has few friends. Her home feels unsafe, especially since her adopted older sibling Ash moved out. Lily realizes that both an individual and an organization are following her, but cannot tell whether they are connected.

She is due to move in with Ash at the friendly Twin Elms Apartments, on the edge of Wolfvale, and often visits. The organization watching her is based in the woods of Quiet Mountain and is sworn to defend against the darkness there, which affects people in both towns. Its members see that darkness growing around Lily. Taylor, the lone individual following her, is driven by obsession, desire and a wish to belong in her life. When Lily is taken, the world grows darker and its people become less kind.
