The invitation felt like a reprieve—a gilded ticket out of the mundane. Your old college friend, Freddy Loren, had summoned the whole gang to his  ancient, sprawling manor. It was a perfect excuse: a reunion, a night to trade old gossip and measure new successes against old dreams.

But from the moment the iron gates clanged shut behind you, the air inside the manor felt thick and cold, a palpable thing pressing down on the silence.

This wasn't just a nostalgic weekend; it was a trap, woven of old ties and dark intent.

Each of you carries a secret wound, a growing dread that isn't just nerves. A curse has been cast, binding your fates to this house and to each other. Every laugh is forced, every glance a silent question: Who amongst us is the culprit, and what power did they use to bind us here?

The clock is a countdown, not to an end, but to a terrifying transformation that will strike at midnight. You must unmask the betrayer and sever the hex before the bell tolls.
