“The greatest strength of The Abbot's Book is the book itself”

About This Content

This DLC package is a PDF of the original short story "The Abbot's Book." Written by Michael Conelly, it's richly illustrated with concept art and illustrations throughout the text.

...

"Whatever machinations passed through my mind in that moment I cannot relate; only this I knew: The Abbot's Book would be mine. I would see life return to my son's broken body through whatever forbidden knowledge lay within that tome.

Now my thoughts are filled with fear over my death to come, and long are the hours I've lain awake at night, listening to the terrible heartbeat I believe still haunts the catacombs beneath the Castello. The truth is this: The catacombs beneath the estate are as much a prison as a burial ground. The captive within must not be released into this world..."

...

The events of "Caliban Below" spring from this story, and explain amongst other things how Caliban came to be in his realm below. PLEASE NOTE: This DLC is an illustrated story in PDF format. It contains no interactive component. We publish it here for folks eager to learn more about the world of "The Abbot's Book," and about the much larger VR project we hope one day to produce.
