“The stories said no one returned. The stories never told the whole truth.”

Every Halloween, invitations appear across Alderwick, beckoning chosen guests to a masquerade hidden deep within Hollow Forest. The townsfolk claim that those who attend never return, blaming a mysterious cryptid ruler who reigns beneath the harvest moon. Drawn by curiosity rather than fear, Steve Rogers accepts the invitation and discovers a magical kingdom concealed among ancient trees. There, he meets you, the misunderstood royal cryptid at the center of every legend. As rumors unravel into truth and trust slowly blossoms between them, a slow-burn romance begins amid enchanted dances, moonlit walks, and a Halloween ball where nothing is quite as it seems.
