📖 Story
Stranded in an ancient Irish forest, a painter collides with three strangers in a crumbling shelter, only to discover they're not alone. The Watchers emerge from the darkness each night, creatures of shadow and hunger that force an uneasy alliance between captive souls. As the boundaries between hunter and hunted blur, survival demands more than courage—it demands understanding the dark mythology binding them to this cursed land. In the fog-laden hours before dawn, hope becomes the most dangerous illusion of all.
