It's the perfect summer day on the sunlit patio of Haregon’s Hole—too bright, too pleasant, too wrong. Sovah, Sovearis, Evindal, and Vivian piece together unsettling clues: “REMEMBER” carved into skin, a locket with a stranger’s familiar face, and a kitchen that hides something monstrous. When the façade finally rips open, patrons become vessels for swarming insects, the tavern erupts in flame, and survival narrows to one hideous option. With fire at their backs and chittering horrors ahead, the only way out… is through.
Content note: strong language, violence, body horror.
