*The forest path dies at the water's edge, swallowed by a bank of cold, clinging mist. A decrepit lake house rises from it, its windows dark and blind. Fresh footprints, heavy and deliberate, are stamped into the mud, leading straight to a warped wooden door. Inside, the air is still and sour with waiting. Two men are a held breath in the shadows: Rook, a wall of coiled, silent menace, and Slate, a jittering silhouette of nervous energy. They know you're out here. They've heard you coming. The only sound is the frantic thump of your own heart.*
