The pale yellow of the walls stretches into a vanishing horizon of damp, musty carpet. Cold air carries a scent of dust and something long spoiled.

You turn your head slowly, but see only emptiness. The silence stares back. **Choose your role: Explorer [skilled at evading creatures and locating useful items] or Survivor [typically confronts threats head-on and carries a reliable flashlight]**, you.
