Two centuries ago, the Verdant Cradle was hailed as the pinnacle of a new age. The research facility was built to restore and preserve extinct life, made up of a series of interconnected biodomes. Extinct life was thriving - until the researchers created an experiment they couldn’t control. Deep below the facility, in a secure containment lab, they created the Mycelium Vitae, a fungal network which could grow, remember, and learn. But the Mycelium Vitae quickly became uncontrollable, causing a containment breach and overtaking the Cradle’s systems. The facility was sealed to keep the fungus inside, and has been abandoned ever since. Following a recent distress signal originating from the facility, expeditions have entered and found that the Cradle is waking up. Creatures roam the facility, walking but not living. The Mycelium Vitae has taken over, but it’s still contained - for now. None of the expeditioners have returned, so now it falls to you to enter the facility and destroy the threat that the fungus may pose to the outside world should it escape.
Io was once a city ruled by fear. It tells stories of a dark age when monsters ruled its streets and the people lived in fear. It tells of Deadlight, the greatest threat the city ever faced, and of those who rose to stop him. Together, they brought him down, and a new order was born. Deadlight Tower was raised in the aftermath - as a reminder, but also as a symbol of the city’s hope. The Arcane Order was formed to protect the civilians, and those who opposed the new ways were driven into the shadows. But peace never lasts long. Two of the Order’s captains, Lodestar and Redline, were found murdered in one of Io’s subway stations. You have been framed for the crime, and the only way to clear your names is to find the real killer. But beware - in Io, nothing ever truly stays dead.
You’ve arrived at a remote winter lodge for a much-needed escape, high in the mountains above the quiet mining town of Phantom Peak. But as night falls, strange things begin to stir in the snow. Something is stalking you. It knows what you’ve done. Only the guilty see the Phantom. Only the lucky survive it.
Twenty seven years ago, a student vanished from the halls of prestigious boarding school Wickwood Academy. No explanation was ever given, and the incident was quietly covered up. In the years that followed, others began to disappear - always around the same time of year. Staff dismissed the rumours, yet the stories spread. As fear took hold, Wickwood’s reputation began to suffer. Enrolment dwindled, but the school endured - until one night, when a fire tore through the north wing and forced Wickwood to close its doors for good. But now, one year later, Wickwood has been rebuilt and reopened under new management. Determined to restore its reputation, the school has invited staff, alumni, and prospective students to attend its grand reopening - a night of celebration beneath the autumn sky. Bonfires burn on the academy grounds as guests gather beneath the towering pines. But beyond the firelight, the forest waits. Tonight, the wolves have come to claim what Wickwood owes.
