What is The 31st?

The 31st is a Halloween-themed game about a fire fighter named Gus Graves from the small town of Timber Valley. Gus gets pulled into an experimental machine while battling a mysterious blaze at a local MGL Labs building. He awakens in a grassy field surrounded by broken lab equipment and his wrecked fire truck, and he soon learns that he’s been transported to a strange world filled with wacky inhabitants and endless hordes of blood-thirsty monsters.
