The game

A hunt that turns on you

Your brother went into the valley for the season and did not come back. You have his license, his rifle and the keys to the cabins he worked from. The deer are there. So are the wolves. And so is the thing the old families will not name, which has been walking these woods since before the first tree was cut.

Hunt to earn your way. Read the signs it leaves. Decide what you kill and what you spare, because the forest is keeping count. Then go down, under the roots, into the place it comes from.

It hunts you back

The Leshy stalks every hunt. Claw marks on bark, a stare from the treeline, lights that die when it is close. Learn its signs or be taken.

A living valley

Deer, wolves, mountain lions and bears that track, flee and fight. Weather that changes the hunt. Cabins, a sawmill and a manor, each with something to hide.

Kill, or keep company

Spare the right animal and it may walk beside you. A wolf or a lion at your side warns, forages, defends, and drags you back when you fall.

The Blackroot Labyrinth

Beneath the valley, a labyrinth of black stone and gold. Hedge mazes, drowned terraces, halls of mirrors, an old mine. Each deeper than the last, and none of them empty.

A hall of mirrors with gold-framed doorways and a reflecting floor

No safe ground but the nooks

Underground you save only where the pale light burns. Between those lights it is traps, the dark, and whatever walks in it. Die twice and the labyrinth keeps you.

Letters, ledgers, carvings and locked rooms. Piece together what the families did here, what it cost them, and why your brother came.
