Welcome to Marrow Park, a once-famous theme park now shrouded in mystery and whispers of disappearing visitors. But the nightmares don't end when the gates close - they're just getting started.
Three strangers. Three haunted locations. One dark secret.
Damon Clarke, a night guard with a past darker than the shadows he patrols.
Tasha Kimura, a high-score queen trapped in an arcade where games play her.
Elian Trace, a mysterious captive in a secret facility, burdened with memories that aren't fully his own.
Bound by fragmented memories and a shared connection to the Marionette Engine, an experimental AI program designed to capture human emotion - but twisted by fear and trauma.
When the park's horrifying animatronics awaken, each reflecting broken souls trapped inside machines, the trio is forced to confront the truth: the Hollow Carnival isn't just a place. It's a prison.
Now, they must unravel the terrifying mystery behind the Hollow King - a monstrous fusion of their worst fears - before the park consumes them all.
The carnival's final show is about to begin.
Can they survive the laughter?
Or will they become part of the show forever?

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐭. ~ For five years, Evelyn turned up missing. Locked at the bottom of an endless void of water in a metal safe. Trapped in a coma of her own. Though she returns, nothing in her life is the same. Her family has vanished without a trace. The home she has spent more torturous yet joyful moments in, the closest thing to home, destroyed and left in rubble. Her best friends, her brother, her own daughter, missing without so much as a trail. No one left to help her, console her, tell her everything will be okay. Within the span of five months, Evelyn has managed to rise back to her feet, but she's dropped her old life. Temporarily. Changing her hair style, and name, she's confided in people eligible to help her. But per usual, she's ultimately bound to making enemies. Creating a new enemy was not on her agenda, especially not one that she is agreeing to marry. After getting into a situation she can't seem to get herself out of, she is forced to stay in the same house as someone she hates as much as he hates her. But as time drags on, the line between love and hate seems to blur. Forcing herself to focus on her main objective, she attempts to limit as much time with him as possible. But living in the same house, despite its rather large build, she's bound to run into him by chance. Evelyn will do anything to save her family, as they had done many occasions before-for her. Even if it means destroying her own happiness in the process. {MATURE LANGUAGE} TW -Violence -Rape/sexual assault -Kidnapping -Drugs -Gore/torture -Suicide thoughts/attemptComplete

Marrowgate
It's 1995, and Cherry Blackthorn has always lived in the shadows of her family's mansion silenced, overlooked, and broken down by parents who worship her twin brother while treating her as a flaw to be erased. Sweet, shy, and tender-hearted, Cherry has always carried more kindness than anyone ever gave back. But after one desperate act, she is locked away in Marrowgate Asylum, a sprawling stone fortress three hours from home, where the halls never feel the same twice and the walls seem to breathe. Inside, kindness is rare, cruelty is routine, and something unseen feeds on the despair that fills every ward. Whispers echo in the vents. Shadows cling too long. Patients move like puppets to a rhythm Cherry can't hear. Yet even in her most fragile moments, Cherry refuses to let her hope die. A bunkmate with sunshine in her veins, a nurse who still remembers compassion, and an unbreakable bond with her twin all remind her that light can survive, even here. As days bleed into nights, Cherry begins to wonder is Marrowgate only a hospital for the forgotten... or a hungry thing in It's own right?Complete

Through The Black Veil
When the sleepy coastal town of Graven Hollow is struck by a wave of unexplained disappearances, no one can explain the chilling whispers that fill the night air. They echo through the forest, rise from the abandoned mines, and crawl beneath the ash-covered ruins of old houses long forgotten. Seventeen-year-old Evelyn Mire returns to her hometown after ten years-just in time for the centennial eclipse, an event that the locals say awakens "the Hollow's hunger." But something is wrong. The town feels frozen in time: clocks stop ticking at midnight, the air carries the smell of burnt earth, and shadows seem to move even when no one does. When Evelyn discovers her late mother's diary filled with strange warnings-"Don't look in the mirrors. Don't follow the voices. Don't trust the ones who remember you."-she realizes her family's dark past is connected to the curse haunting the town. As she digs deeper with the help of a skeptical journalist and a boy who doesn't exist in any official records, Evelyn uncovers a truth buried for a century: Graven Hollow was never built on solid ground-it was built over something alive. Every clue brings her closer to the heart of the nightmare... and the whispers are getting louder.
Bound To The Demon Prince Of Erendale | 18+
⚠️WARNING: MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY.🔞 "You're mine, Witch." His voice hardened. "Your life that I saved? The one that would've been WASTED if I hadn't acted? Belongs to ME. And you will do only as I please, exactly as I say, until-" "Over my dead body!" I hissed, suddenly filled with anger. "That can be arranged," Hans said easily. Then with a smile that was anything but pleasant: "Or you can steal for me instead. Kill for me, if I tell you to. Either way, you stay where I can see you. Night and day." "I'm no puppet." I held his silver gaze with a glare. "And I'm definitely no murderer." "No, but you're a thief. One that's now forever indebted to me." ~•|•~ She steals power. This time, she stole the wrong one. ~•|•~ The Black Market of Erendale runs on the trade of magic ripped from its owners and sold to the highest bidder. Eclipse knows the game. As a Siphoner, a rare witch who can drain abilities with a touch, she survives by robbing the powerful and selling to the even more powerful... until she accidentally takes the essence of Hans de la Mort, the demon of Erendale himself. Crossing him should mean death. Instead, he offers her a deal: she'll return his power when the time is right, and until then, she and her siphoning abilities belong to him. She was his prisoner. His prey. And dangerously, the one who made his demon want to play. Every job she's forced to do pulls them closer to danger-and closer to each other. But when Eclipse uncovers a plot to overthrow him, she's faced with an impossible choice: return his power and lose the only leverage keeping her alive... or keep it, and risk losing everything. Including him.
