Ashvale is a town trapped in time, a place where the fog never fully lifts, and the air always carries the faintest scent of decay. With its abandoned streets, dilapidated homes, and a history shrouded in mystery, Ashvale seems frozen in a nightmare that no one dares to wake from. Whispers of ghostly apparitions, strange disappearances, and eerie happenings have kept visitors away for decades, leaving it forgotten by the outside world.

Ella Turner, a young, ambitious journalist with a reputation for uncovering the truth, is determined to crack the mystery of Ashvale. Drawn by the promise of a story that could launch her career, she arrives with nothing but curiosity and skepticism. But as soon as she sets foot in the town, Ella feels the chilling presence of something more-something unnatural.

The townspeople, few and far between, speak in hushed tones, warning her to leave before it's too late. They know the truth about Ashvale's dark past: it is cursed, haunted by restless spirits who have never found peace. The more Ella investigates, the more she uncovers a web of tragic events that have bound the souls of the dead to the land, their cries echoing in the shadows.

Determined to help them find release, Ella embarks on a dangerous journey to unravel the truth behind Ashvale's curse. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that breaking the town's hold on the spirits might cost her more than she ever imagined. With every revelation, Ella's grip on reality begins to slip, and she must confront a terrifying question: can she free the souls of Ashvale without losing her own in the process?
