Dive into the eerie depths of Fobia – St. Dinfna Hotel, where you play as Roberto Leite Lopes, a freshly minted journalist with a penchant for uncovering the truth. Sent to the small town of Treze Trilhas in Santa Catarina following a tip from his friend Stephanie, Roberto investigates the St. Dinfna Hotel, a place shrouded in mystery, notorious for its connections to paranormal activities and inexplicable disappearances.
