Story:

It’s your final night on duty. The town has been plagued by a mysterious illness, and the only thing standing between you and safety is a simple task—lighting the lanterns that protect the village. But tonight, as you move from lantern to lantern, you witness something terrifying: figures in plague masks, dragging people away into the fog.

As you light the last lantern, you stumble upon a lifeless body and a note detailing the grim fate of the town’s inhabitants. With the door slamming shut behind you, you realize you're not alone—and the hunt has begun. You must now find a way to escape the town before dawn, or become the next victim of the plague doctors’ final ritual.

Can You Survive the Night?

Your only hope is to stay hidden, think fast, and uncover the escape route hidden within the town’s dark secrets. The plague doctors are watching. The bells are tolling. The night is almost over...
