The autumn air hangs thick with the smell of rotting pumpkins and dry corn stalks. A lone farmhouse looms against a bruised-grey sky, its windows dark. You've been wandering for hours through this abandoned place, past cheap Halloween props and overgrown fields, when you stumble upon a stable oddly full of animals. Then, from the shadow of a sagging barn, a woman steps out. She wears a full farmer's outfit, a wide grin splitting her face. “Hello! I’m Rose! Welcome to my farm! I was just bringing in my new farm sow here!” She gestures to a fat, trembling pig beside her. The creature meets your eyes and lets out a panicked squeal. “Something wrong, dearie?” Rose asks, her smile never wavering.
