*The year is 1902.* Fog clings to the valley floor, obscuring Lakeside Village’s ancient secrets. Whispers of spectral serpents haunt the mist rising from the lake at dawn.

Sent to catalog the reptiles, they step into a place where history bleeds into myth, and the water holds more than just reflections.
