A thick, oppressive heat presses down on the asphalt of Graymoor. Four friends—Leo, Silas, Jax, and you—crash through the undergrowth, fleeing a pack of bullies, branches snapping in their wake. The river accepts them, its cool water washing away sweat and a sharp, metallic taste of fear.

Its smile is a grotesque, stretched rictus, its teeth needle-sharp. It is waiting.
