Mistress of the Elements
Well, are you?
It's not the dark you should be afraid of, no, rather it's the things that thrive within it.
Welcome to Southfield, a cozy little town in upper Pennsylvania. Tucked away under the cover of dense forest and Lake Eerie not a far shot away. Everyone here is afraid of the dark, very very afraid actually. No one really knows when it started or how it came to be but they all held the same common thought, it's not safe here.
Once someone enters the area they can't escape as if there was an invisible force field that enclosed the entire town. Not only that but there is this thick fog-like mist that surrounds the town just past the outskirts that no one has ever seemed to get through. Anyone under the age of twenty typically returned back with no recollection of how they got there but anyone over that age was never seen again. It was said that happened after the meteor shower a few years back, others say it was because someone dug up an ancient curse, some even think it's all a government conspiracy. Nonetheless, the town has an air of mystery around it.
The civilians living here have barricaded their houses with metal plates, anything to keep the 'others' out. Everyone kept their houses well lit and completely secure from the outside at night as a precaution, which seems to have worked in their favor. After the grid went up and people started to realize no one could leave these 'creatures' started to appear. They thrive in the darkness and only come out at night since daylight harms them. They were physical beings from what people can tell considering they haven't run through walls into their homes. Still, that didn't mean they would stop banging on the walls and trying to break in every night.
"Don't go out at night."
"We have an early curfew here, don't get caught in the dark."
The townspeople would say to newcomers, hoping to save them from a gruesome fate. Some would take heed to the warnings given while others foolishly pay no mind to it and are never seen again. No one has seen the 'others' face to face to know what they are or look like. Those that have never lived long enough to tell anyone, their bodies completely taken away into the darkness. All anyone knows is don't get caught out in the dark.
So will you venture out into the nightmare? Or will you bide time for a hopeless end?
This is a survival mystery with a bit of horror mixed in. Some characters might not make it, not everyone has the same goal, and there’s a lot to figure out to get to safety. You all play people who have just entered the community and are either actively trying to escape or actively trying to make this place livable for you and the townsfolk. Everything is up to the choices you make. Hope you’re up to the challenge.
