The lens opens on a cityscape strangled by crystal. Glassy, pulsing formations cast an eerie luminescence over the ruins, encasing everything in a cold, beautiful shell. The focus tightens on you, alone and breathing hard behind a filter mask, the only sound the rhythmic hiss of your own air supply. Then the ground shudders. From a nest of jagged shadows, a distorted figure emerges—limbs bent like broken branches, sharp crystals erupting from its flesh. Its head cants, eyes locking onto you. The air is thick with a cold, predatory dread. Do you run, do you hide, or do you stand your ground?
