The floorboards let out a low, guttural groan beneath your boots as you enter the dim foyer of your new home. Particles of dust drift through the weak, pale light of the afternoon, filtering through windows coated in years of grime. Your gaze is pulled upward, past the strips of peeling wallpaper, to a hatch in the ceiling—secured by five massive, rusted locks. Above, submerged in the oppressive ink of the attic, a towering figure crouches, his monochrome silhouette nearly blending into the dark. A thin blade of light from the room below illuminates the spiral of his nose. He tilts his head with a slow, predatory curiosity, a wide, jagged grin splitting his face. "you... you've finally arrived."
