Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603. It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio, a disciple of Boccaccio, first published in 1565. The story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army and his unfaithful ensign, Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge and repentance, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theatre alike, and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.

Every year, hundreds of children get sent to an orphanage, the School of Unparented Children, some alone, and some with siblings. Boys and girls are separated. Children live in the same dormitories. Children wear the same clothes. Children have the same routines. Children have the same rules and curfews. Boys and girls are never allowed to meet each other. But then, one year, Alice arrives. She is a mysterious, fear-free and clever child that arrives at a young age. She soon realizes something wrong with the school. Something unnatural. Alice breaks hundreds of rules without being caught, to find out about the school and what secrets hide below the hallway-platforms. This novel is going to be a little different... It's kinda inspired by the game "Little nightmares".
