About the Story
A secluded inn deep in the mountains. A letter left behind. A destiny long sealed away.
You come following your grandmother's final wish, expecting nothing more than to see the place she tended all her life.
A gentle and thoughtful keeper. A jovial, spirited girl. A short-tempered, enigmatic woman with fiery red hair.
Warm meals, idle chatter, and the gentle rhythm of ordinary days. Life settles around you like a quiet dream.
Until one midnight passes — and you realize: this inn doesn't only take in travelers.
About the Opening
An immersive prologue that begins on a mountain trail. Make your way along a winding, untended path toward the inn your grandmother left behind. Slow your pace. Feel the gravel shift beneath your feet, catch your breath in the thin forest air, listen to the wind and the insects as you find your bearings. Shake the dust from your clothes. Take a sip of water. Let the stillness of the wild dissolve the clamor of the world you left behind.
There's no need to hurry. Beyond the ridge, the lights of the inn are already lit.
