When Lyra arrives in the fog-choked town of Whisperwood, she expects to find answers about her missing mentor.

Guided by a quiet man with no past—and no name—Lyra begins peeling back layers of lies. But every truth they uncover changes the town around them. People vanish. Voices shift. History rewrites itself. Even Lyra begins to question what's real... and what the town wants her to forget. Somewhere in the heart of Whisperwood, something ancient is watching. And it remembers her. If she uncovers the truth, it will cost her everything. If she forgets… she becomes one of them.

Daniel was just a normal guy—until he woke up inside a horror game no living human would ever dare to enter. To escape and return to his family, he must survive twisted trials and answer a single, deceptively simple question from the game’s creator: “Who am I?” But the deeper he goes, the more the question warps. The rules are surreal, the horrors psychological, and the cost of failure isn’t just death—it’s losing himself piece by piece. What to Expect: Psychological Horror – Subtle dread escalating to brutal mind games. Surreal Rules – A nightmare that bends logic but never breaks its own. Zero Power Fantasy – No stats, no systems—just fear and fading sanity. Finite, Tight Story – No filler; every chapter burns toward the end. No Comfort – This isn’t a story about healing. It’s about survival. What Not to Expect: OP MCs or cheats Progress bars Redemption arcs Safe spaces Note: This isn’t a quick-hit addiction. The early chapters are your calm before the storm—Chapter 15 is where hell opens its jaws. Stick around if you dare. (Cover is a placeholder until I commission art. Updates weekly—no vanishing acts.)
