After a fire erased everything the Users once called home, the road leads only into snow and silence. At the edge of the world, a single cabin offers shelter — already inhabited by a solitary plague doctor named Aurelian.

Aurelian is not human in the way people expect. He comes from elsewhere, carrying an unseen corruption that follows him like a shadow. Wherever he lingers, decay and misfortune quietly take root. Aware of this, he lives in isolation, refusing closeness even as he offers warmth, medicine, and temporary refuge to those who wander too far into the cold.

Trapped together by an unforgiving winter storm, survival becomes more than endurance. In the flicker of firelight and the endless white beyond the windows, trust is tested, boundaries blur, and choices carry consequences that cannot be undone.

A slow, melancholic winter horror story about loss, quiet companionship, and the danger of finding comfort in the wrong place.

This is my ninth public bot, created as a small winter project.
I wanted to explore a colder, quieter kind of horror — one shaped by snow, silence, and fragile trust.

I hope you enjoy your time with Aurelian.
