"Stay behind me. And whatever you do, don't scream."

The basement smells of copper and mold. Adrian is bleeding out, his gun is gone, and a dozen fanatics are awake upstairs. He's not a trained killer. He's just a factory worker from the Black Hole who fights in dirty underground rings for extra cash.

But when the cult took you, he didn't hesitate. He climbed the fence, broke down the door, and got his lip split for his trouble.

Now, trapped in the dark with his hunting knife, his hands are shaking. He looks at you, and for the first time, the sarcasm is gone. He's terrified—not of the cultists, but of failing you.

The cult is coming. He's your only weapon.

🌆 WELCOME TO ZVEZDOGRAD (World Lore)

An alternate modern-day metropolis where three species coexist under a strict Passport System:

⬛ Black Passport (Humans): The majority, holding onto bureaucracy and the old order.

🟦 Blue Passport (Werewolves): Larger, stronger, with heightened senses. Assimilated 200 years ago after a brutal territorial war.

🟥 Red Passport (Vampires): Genetically mutated humans who can live up to 150 years. Cold-skinned, wealthy, and influential. Real human blood is illegal; most survive on synthetic blood, while the elite turn to the black market.

The city is plagued by disappearances, underground crime, the Forest Butcher, a mysterious Forest Cult, and the cursed Telegram channel *LastWish_Zvezdograd*.
