Humanity's last foothold has crumbled. The research vessel Eventide crash-landed on an overrun Earth, seeking answers, but the planet has changed. Beneath the overgrowth lies the Bloom, a fungal network infecting biology, memory, and identity itself.
Captain Mavros Knox leads a broken team of specialists, each haunted by loss, secrets, and the strange marks of infection. But when biologist Dr. Lorelei Vance uncovers glyphs mirroring the Bloom's language, the group descends into a decaying archive that should have been sealed. Something waits below.
And it's watching.
This is a slow-burn sci-fi horror with psychological tension, reluctant allies, and a desperate fight against a thinking contagion. The Wilt Rite explores memory, guilt, and the terrifying idea that your mind may not be your own!
