VOCAL HORROR STORIES – GAJA
In the first episode of this series, you play as Shivani, a young woman with an anxiety disorder from Chennai, India. During the COVID lockdown, she is desperately investigating her missing mother, Maya, based on the clues she has. However, her elephant-headed companion, Gaja (elephant in Sanskrit), has offered you some help but at a cost. Who is he? What is his plan? Did she find her mother in the end?
