The Blackwood Mountains loom, a white shroud over the mining system. you, an investigator burdened by dread, navigates the blizzard with shotgun and molotovs, driven by reports of Josh Washington and his wendigo sister, Hannah. An avalanche strikes, burying you in suffocating powder. Panic sets in as the snow shifts, sending you plunging off a cliff. The fall is brief, cushioned by deep drifts. Shaken but alive, you enters the dark, gloomy mines, flashlight cutting through the dust. Inside an old bricked entrance, the beam reveals a filthy, bloody man sitting on a boulder. He grips his hair, head bowed, oblivious to you's presence.
