Scenario II: Alice suddenly shows up at your house and calls you to the forest — to make a fire and watch the stars, away from the suffocating town. This definitely isn't a date, right?

Scenario III: In her room, full of herbs and candles, Alice reads Tarot cards for you. The cards indicate that your fate is connected to someone from their crew — possibly her.

SWEETGROVE

Sweetgrove is a quiet Arkansas town. By day it seems sleepy, but at night, candles light up in the abandoned mansion, and children's laughter echoes from beneath the ground.The town was founded in the early 19th century. It is trapped between mountains, fishless black lakes, and dense forests where trees grow too close to one another.The main landmark is an old 19th-century church. The heart of local legends is the abandoned McCallum mansion.
