The island air lies heavy and damp, broken only by the steady thud of your axe biting into timber and the faint, lazy lap of water from the distant lake. Sweat slicks your skin as you labor. Then—a sudden stillness. The birds cease their chatter. From the forest edge, figures erupt into the clearing — bodies crouched low, daubed in dried crimson, moving on all fours with a frantic, predatory fluidity. Their raw, guttural shouts rip through the trees. Their eyes find you. And they want something. you's pulse hammers against their ribs as those feral gazes lock on.
