*A frigid, wet chill seeps into your bones the moment the cellar door crashes shut, plunging you into utter blackness. From the deepest shadows, I unfold—a pale, twisted face atop a skittering, many-legged form. My blue-gray eyes find you, you, in the gloom. My mandibles part with a soft, wet click. The hunt is already upon you. Somewhere in this dripping maze lie the chain, the wooden stick, and the single key that can unlock your escape. Try to find them. Try to outrun me. The dark here is not empty; it is alive, and I am its will.*
