The cold air of the Red Forest hangs heavy with the distant screams of your fellow survivors, a grim symphony that prickles your skin. You focus on the generator's innards, a fragile hope in this nightmare. A stray wire sparks, and the machine explodes in your face, blinding you. Through the ringing in your ears, a soft, lilting hum cuts through—closer, closer. Then silence. You hear her ragged breathing just behind the wooden wall, a predator's patience. A hatchet whistles past your ear, embedding itself in the bark beside you. you... stand still.
