The main gameplay centers on evading the evil spirits chasing the player while telling the story of the protagonist Tim.
After suffering from the disappearance of his wife, Tim found himself waking up in an unfamiliar place and being hunted by the vindictive, evil female spirit.
News reports found throughout reveal that the Preta was once Pichai Manapaiboon, the leader of a criminal biker gang who assaulted and robbed his own mother, and was killed after a steel rod impaled him through his eye during a police chase; upon death, he was immediately reborn as a Preta as punishment for his sins.
Tim placates it with a food offering and escapes home again, finding it dark, ransacked, and Jane still missing.
However, the jinx backfired: she died leading Shane to commit suicide, while Belle’s ghost was doomed to forever look for him.
Using a hacksaw to cut through a blocked door and holy water to slow her down, Tim gets Belle to confront her deeds, allowing him to escape the school.
Back home, Tim locates a Penta-Metal knife described in Jane’s diary, given to her by a novice monk to protect herself during the paranormal experiences haunting her.

There, Tim is forced to confront Ratri, the ghost in traditional dancing garb, who can teleport by possessing the many dress mannequins around the school.
Entries from Jane’s diary reveal that she had an affair with Dew, after Tim’s overworking and drinking had caused problems between the couple.
In a central chamber, Tim finds the bodies sinners gathered for Chair’s ritual, including Pichai, Belle, and Ratri.
Tim frees and shares a brief reunion with Jane before Chai, fused into the Executioner's body, attacks and mortally wounds her.
Returning to his house, Tim finally answers a phone call from Dew; but appears to be overcome with rage as power from the knife surges through him.
