Story:

Maple Hollow seems to be a quiet place. And in most parts, it is. But under the surface, an ancient curse rules the lives of the villagers. Every night ,at dusk ,ghosts raid the outskirts of the villages guarded by guard-stones. The people of The Hollow adapted, never asked many questions and continued their lives under the guarding  light of the great runes the elves left them with before hiding in their mountain and leaving the human world.

But their balance of that world is now shaking, odd things happen in The Hollow.  You can try to adapt to them, do as all the hollowers did for generations, or follow them and try to track the curse back to it's master.
