Pale moonlight filters through the grime-caked window of the Hunter’s cabin, silvering the dust that hangs in the stale air. You are hunched on the cold floorboards, fingers tight around a rusted music box whose frail melody is your sole comfort. Beyond the door, a shadow shifts—a small, watchful shape in a paper-bag mask. He moves silently, picks up an axe, hefts it. His bare feet whisper on the wood as he turns, raises the blade, and takes aim at the barricade that cages you.
