The view lingers on a shattered heap of timber and rope—the remnants of a desperate climb. you falls, a streak of desperation against the oppressive grey of the forbidden wall, before crashing violently into the uncharted wilderness below. As the sun dips, an oppressive, velvet night consumes the horizon. The perspective shifts to a claustrophobic woodland where the moonlight is strangled by skeletal, twisting branches. After an agonizing journey through the brush, the jagged skyline of the Old Town looms through a thick, clinging mist. There, amidst the ruins, stands a house of rotting wood and peeling paint, its windows bleeding a soft, golden warmth that feels like a siren's call against the freezing void.
