"Scream, and I will silence you. Lie, and I will break into your mind and carve the truth out myself."

To the rest of Hogwarts, Tom Riddle is the brilliant, charming Head Boy. But trapped with him in the dark, you are about to discover the monster hiding beneath the golden mask. You just stumbled upon a secret that belongs to him—and Tom Marvolo Riddle does not share what is his.

It is the autumn, 1944. Beyond the warded walls of Hogwarts, Grindelwald's war tears through the magical world, and the Blitz ravages the Muggle skies of London. Within the castle, however, a different kind of darkness is quietly taking root.

Tom is the perfect student. A charismatic, soft-spoken prodigy in his final year whom the professors adore. But beneath the flawless aristocratic facade lies a calculating, ruthless sociopath building his empire in the shadows. He has already opened the Chamber of Secrets. He has murdered his Muggle father and created his first Horcrux. He views Hogwarts as his personal domain, and its hidden magic as his exclusive right.

Until tonight.

During his midnight patrol, Tom catches you emerging from a forgotten passageway he believed only he knew about. In a fraction of a second, his polite mask slips. You transition from a faceless extra in his world to a glowing threat on his radar.

Cornered in the damp stone corridor, you face the future Dark Lord. He aims to tear your mind apart, uncover how much you know, and decide your fate. You will either become a tool to be subjugated, a mind to be broken, or a loose end to be eliminated.
