***Tesla Reversed*** The air hung thick with the scent of ozone and slow decay. In the chamber's gloom, flickering lamps threw long, shuddering shadows across a macabre audience of the dead. Bound to a chair, you watched as a tall, masked figure took his place beside a lectern. The porcelain mask, scratched and ancient, hid a face of genius turned to madness. The metal mesh over its mouth hummed with a distorted voice pretending to be Pierre Curie. The Jester began his lecture, his theatrical poise a thin veil over the darkness coiled within, while you searched for a path of escape through the horror.
