Control
The air crackles with the hum of arcane storms—skyline ruptured by jagged spires of ancient cities long abandoned to the void. Shadows coil like serpents beneath crumbling archways, whispering secrets in tongues lost to mortal memory. A lone wanderer treads the ashen wastes, their cloak frayed by the teeth of howling winds, eyes fixed on the distant glow of a fractured monolith—its surface etched with glyphs that pulse in time with the planet’s dying heartbeat. Somewhere beyond the haze, machinery groans; titanic gears rusted by eons grind to life, shuddering the ground as forgotten automata stir, their purpose rewritten by time’s cruel hand. Stars flicker above, not as guides but as silent witnesses to the unraveling of realms—a clockwork cosmos spiraling toward collapse. Here, every breath is a gamble, every step a pact with chaos. Survival isn’t measured in days but in how long the mind can outpace the creeping madness that claws at the edges of reality.
description
The abandoned mansion looms under a blood-red moon, its skeletal turrets clawing at stormclouds. You press against crumbling stonework as otherworldly laughter echoes through overgrown gardens - the Seekers have begun their hunt. This isn’t childhood hide-and-seek. Here, reality bends. Phase through walls into shifting shadow dimensions where gravity warps and spectral echoes mislead pursuers. But choose your refuge wisely - dwell too long in the gloom and the realm’s whispering darkness might claim you permanently. Hiders manipulate the environment itself. Fling open phantom doors that materialize brief escape routes, conjure lifelike decoys that sprint through corridors, or muffle footsteps with localized time dilation fields. Meanwhile, Seekers don masks forged from celestial ore, their vision piercing dimensional veils to track residual soul-trails. The balance tips when Hiders seize forbidden relics - temporary possession lets them invert roles in brutal ambushes. Scattered through the decaying estate, reality-warping artifacts pulse with unstable power. Activate a chaos totem to randomize all players’ positions, or risk triggering a paradox grenade that teleports everyone except the thrower. The mansion itself rebels as matches progress - walls bleed acidic resin, chandeliers transform into pendulum traps, entire wings collapse into void portals. Victory demands adaptability. Hiders surviving the countdown watch in glee as the mansion’s curse claims reckless Seekers. But those caught face a cruel choice - become spectral allies betraying former comrades or endure resurrection’s agony to fight again. With each match, new eldritch rules overwrite reality, ensuring no two hunts ever unfold alike. Will you master the shifting chaos, or become another soul lost to the mansion’s hungry shadows?
