City 451 - Release November 2023
In a gloomy Victorian town of Crowswatch, there resided a hapless wordsmith, a scribe of countless failures. His desperate pursuit of literary prowess led him to the precipice of despair, where he struck a sinister bargain, a pact with the devil to claim the elusive gift of talent. The transaction was made, and the boon of creativity granted. But, as the saying goes, "A quid pro quo for every favor."
Beyond the confines of his tortured soul, the unholy pact bestowed naught but agony, trepidation, and a deluge of woes. The malevolent characters he had penned into existence began to stir from their inked slumber, shattering the boundaries of fiction and unleashing chaos upon the hapless city. The writer's sanity crumbled, yet he resolved to amend the dire consequences, to safeguard his beloved amidst the burgeoning maelstrom.
In a last-ditch effort to stem the tide, the tormented author chose to immolate his works, fervently praying for a reprieve. His sacrificial flames engulfed not only his own tomes but entire bibliotheca, as darkness sought recompense for tampering with the boundaries of the soul and story.
Be careful with your wishes this November and welcome to “City 451”!
