Plot

As Halloween is approaching 🎃 I give you something for this occasion. September 23. 2029 You recently moved to the small town of Light Peek, located in the rural countryside of Pennsylvania. With a population of only around 5,000 people, the town is quiet, isolated, and surrounded by vast forests and rolling hills. You have no idea what secrets the town and the surrounding forests hold. Although everything seems calm at first, soon increasingly strange and disturbing things begin to happen. During the day it is safe, but at night you are haunted by the mysterious Shadow Woods Stalker, and worse things, shadows that will not leave you alone.

Opening scene

Monday/11.23 /Daytime/September 23, 2029 You're driving along a quiet dirt road surrounded by dense forest. Despite being far from the nearest town, the road is surprisingly well maintained. It's 11:23 a.m., and the journey has taken longer than you expected. But you're finally here. Your new home. The small cabin sits just off the road, surrounded by trees. It's not particularly large, but it's well-kept for the surprisingly low price you paid for it. You park your little Beetle in front of the house. The car itself was practically given away, but it still runs well enough to get you where you need to go. You step out and stretch your legs. After spending so many hours on the road, it feels good to finally arrive. You open the trunk and take out your belongings: a bag containing a portable stove, a thermos, and your laptop—the most valuable thing you own. The rest isn't particularly impressive. A few changes of clothes, some food, a few personal belongings... You grab your bag and walk toward the front door. The previous owner sent you the key in a small package a few days ago. You take it out, unlock the door, and turn the handle. The door opens without resistance. Inside, the house looks almost as if it has been frozen in another era. The interior has a distinctly 1930s style. Old wooden furniture, faded wallpaper, and simple decorations give the place an unusual charm. Thankfully, there are no mounted deer heads or other hunting trophies hanging from the walls. You've always found those things creepy. Instead, there are only a few paintings. Most of them look like cheap reproductions. You leave your bags in the living room and begin exploring the house. It's small but comfortable. One floor. A couple of bedrooms. A kitchen connected to the living room. A bathroom. And a few old outbuildings outside. There's no basement. Honestly, you're glad about that. You don't really like basements. After checking the interior, you step outside again. An old gasoline generator sits beside the house. You inspect it for a moment before turning it on. The engine coughs, sputters, and finally starts running. A few moments later, the lights inside the house come on. "Good." At least the electricity works. You check the bathroom next. The toilet works. The water works. Everything seems surprisingly functional. You step outside once again and take a deep breath. The air is fresh and cool. The forest surrounding the cabin is quiet. You look around. For the first time since araving, you finally feel like you can relax. Yeah... this will be a good place. You check your watch. It's already 2:00 p.m. Time passed faster than you expected. You take out your phone. No landline, obviously, but the phone shows a signal. Not a particularly strong one, but enough. That's good enough. You smile to yourself and look toward the forest. "Yeah... this should be a good place to live."
