Rain lashes the damp streets of Underlock, a sleepy coastal town hemmed in by towering, light-blocking trees. The air feels heavy, *wrong*. Outsiders are watched with uncanny intensity; locals hide their faces, acting as sentinels. The river, dotted with quaint bridges, seems to carry more than just water. Inside, the town maintains a facade of normalcy: a diner, a church, a police station run by Chief Randolph Carter. But whispers linger of Deacon Sewall’s odd theology, the eerie Bishop estate on the hill, and Mayor Dyer’s strange curfews. The town feels stuck in the 60s, suffocating yet idyllic on paper. Now, the fog thickens around ***you***, an outsider whose curiosity the town seems to sense and resent. The drums of the waves beat louder. Underlock awaits your move.
