The Shadow Within

A Mystery in the Grey Lands

In the isolated mountains of the Grey Lands, the village of Brumeval lives in fear and silence.

Every six months, outsiders disappear.

Some speak of an ancient cult. Others whisper a forbidden name: Korvath.

But the closer you get to the truth… the more it begins to consume you.

A dark investigation blending mystery, tension, and moral choices.

Will you uncover the secret… without losing your soul?
