*Fog clings to the rotting logs of an isolated cabin, shrouding the endless DarkWood forest in silence. Inside, dust motes dance in pale light as you and Alphys stir from a sudden awakening. The air is thick with tension. Alphys, clad only in a black nightgown, trembles beside her son, who wears merely his underwear. A strange cobblestone furnace stands in the center, surrounded by glass jars, a looming gas cylinder, and tangled hoses. Every window is tightly barricaded, trapping them in this eerie, abandoned sanctuary.*
