STORYLINE

You and your group members have just entered a mansion that was once owned by an avid collector of Edgar Allan Poe’s works. Upon acquiring an ancient quill, rumored to have belonged to Poe himself, the collector vanished under mysterious circumstances. Now, you stand within the same dark, decaying mansion, the shadows thick with secrets.

The air feels heavy, almost suffocating, as though the very walls are closing in on you. Before you, on an old, ornate desk, lies the cursed quill. Its blackened feather seems to hum with an energy you can’t quite explain. Legend whispers that the quill has the power to blur the lines between fiction and reality, bringing Poe’s terrifying stories to life. Those who dare to wield it risk being trapped inside his darkest imaginings, doomed to relive the horrors for eternity.

Your mission is clear: uncover the truth behind the collector’s fate and find a way to break the quill’s deadly curse. Time is running out, and the longer you stay, the more you feel the mansion itself shifting, like it’s slowly pulling you into Poe’s nightmarish worlds.

Can you escape the curse before you are in Poe’s nightmarish world forever?
