History
When the aptly dubbed "Strange" Bank was first constructed in 1922, it was actually known as Barrville Savings. The business closed down shortly after Zombies began to wander Malton's streets, and the staff quietly fled, leaving behind millions in cash and valuables abandoned inside the structure's many storage vaults. As Barrville descended into chaos and the outbreak spread across Malton, a maddened cult of unidentified Survivors took refuge inside. They seemed to have performed strange rituals, carving out cryptic messages onto the lobby's walls with their fingernails. Reports later circulated that these tormented souls, shut up in the old bank and fearful of venturing outside where the Zombie hordes hunted freely, turned to cannibalism to survive, raping and murdering other Survivors who entered their domain before consuming the corpses. For many months, many were too afraid to venture near the place, and the name 'Strange Bank' quickly stuck, like a bad omen on whispered lips.
By the time a gang of greedy Barrville residents and opportunistic black marketeers, eager to pillage Strange Bank's contents for themselves, finally summoned up enough courage to mobilize and storm the grounds, its insane caretakers had vanished. Instead, much to their shock and dismay, dozens of corridors and passageways meticulously constructed out of scavenged materials had been built upon the mazelike halls of what had once been Barrville Savings, making navigation disorienting and bordering on impossible. Intrepid Survivors who have later attempted to pursue locating the building's vaults have returned empty-handed. It has been speculated that the surprisingly difficult labyrinthe now in place was fashioned so deliberately as to conceal the latter's locations, believed to be in a sub basement underneath the ground floor.
No trace of the mysterious cult has ever been found, and as various wings have fallen into greater disrepair over the years, the chances of successfully exploring them have grown slim. In the meantime, Strange Bank continues to be the focus of chilling rumors and its haunting legacy lives on.
