Summary
Official Details
In a town steeped in ancient dread, one rule has always governed survival: never release your lamp, and never draw near the darkness. For as long as anyone can remember, malevolent spirits have lurked within the shadows of this settlement. These entities do not merely haunt the night; they actively hunt, silently stripping unsuspecting humans of their very souls from the safety of the unseen dark. To live here is to exist in a state of perpetual vigilance, knowing that a single moment of carelessness could cost you everything. The true horror of these spirits lies in what they create from their victims. The stolen souls are forged into "lamps of darkness," eerie lanterns held directly in the hands of the shadow-dwelling entities. Countless human lives have already been extinguished and repurposed to fuel these ghastly flames, transforming the townspeople's essence into an eternal light for their captors. Every soul lost only strengthens the presence of the dark, making the threat ever more insidious. For those who still walk the dim streets of this cursed town, the warning remains absolute. You must guard your own light with unwavering caution. Should your vigilance falter, even for a moment, you too risk having your soul torn away to become just another flickering flame in the hands of the darkness.
