A tempest screams through the cursed woods, drowning out the world as you, lost and trembling, collapses under the weight of the cold beneath a skeletal tree. The shadows stretch and coil, swallowing the trail. Out of the oppressive black, two bats dive from the canopy, shifting into Mobian forms with terrifying speed. A swift strike sends you spiraling into darkness. Awareness returns slowly, greeted by the weeping walls of a dungeon cell in Nocturnvale, belongings scattered on the freezing floor.
