HAWKINS, INDIANA. 1959. The Rainbow Room’s garish hues mock the sterile cruelty of Hawkins Lab. Henry Creel, Subject 001, sits amidst the chaos, dropping a disk onto the Plinko board. He is twelve, pale, and terrifyingly still. Footsteps approach. The door slides open, revealing you—Subject 002. Henry lifts his head, pale blue eyes locking onto yours. He sees not a monster, but a beginning. The breeding ground has awakened.
