When I first set foot in the Shivering Woods, I was looking for answers - a scientific explanation for the disappearances, the strange rumors, the unnatural cold that seems to seep from the trees.

As the woods close in, whispering in voices meant only for the lost, I had to face a terrifying truth buried beneath the roots. One wrong step, and you become part of the forest itself, trapped where dead leaves don't fall. This is the story of what I saw - and what I barely survived.
