But your adventurous spirit continues to drive your heart to the dangers and perils that spawn from adventure.\b N > \tIntroduction\bN % SIn Amissville, Return to Amissville 2002, you play the role of a normal young adult, living your not so normal life in your hometown with your friends. Years ago, a simple camping trip to Northern Virginia turned eerie. It was in a remote area of Rappahanock County in a small hommlet known as Amissville, that the horrors of the land were revealed. The omnious weather, the strange town folk and a true mystery of the woods almost killed you and your companions. You barely escaped Amissville's wrath and word of Amissville was never spoken of again. But today, you decide to end the nightmares once and for all. You have mustered the courage to return, but this time you are going in prepared. Who you take and what you take with you will ultimately decide your fate. This time you feel that Amissville will never let you go if you fail.\b N ' !# N ( !# N ) !# N *
