Vera Bitter is a longstanding member of the community. She’s well known while simultaneously an enigma. When she passes, Bitter House is left to Bridget who’s been stranger from her grandmother, Vera since she was 18. Why would she have left the house to her? They hadn’t spoken in years. 

When Bridget shows up, she finds out this home holds more secrets than she could have imagined. As she figures out what to do with this house that she grew up in but never felt at home in - more & more secrets keep being revealed. Imagine the surprise when unknown influences start creeping up into every corner of the property to unveil things you’d never imagine…not to mention, you can’t seem to even verify their validity. 

Some secrets are easier to stomach than others. What will you learn about Bitter House, Vera, & yourself once you enter?
