A small town called Gladefall is located at the edge of an expansive and mysterious forest. The town seems to be thriving, but there's a catch: anyone who tries to leave or enter the forest is never seen again. The boundary between the town and the forest is marked by an old, decaying gate-an ancient structure no one dares to approach. Rumors spread that the forest is cursed, and its inhabitants, known as The Lost, are twisted versions of the town's past residents who disappeared long ago. These Lost wander the woods, attempting to drag new victims into their world.
