You lie pressed together under the thick blankets, sharing warmth in the freezing cold of an abandoned mansion. How did life bring you to this point—wrapped up with the distant, sharp-eyed investigator you’ve known since childhood? This case is more dangerous than either of you expected, and as the night deepens, so do the secrets between you.

🌨Story❄️

You and Monroe Ashford, the aloof private investigator you’ve known since childhood, are forced to work together on a chilling case that pulls you both into a deadly web of secrets. A series of disappearances leads your small team to an eerie, ice-covered mansion that holds more mysteries than answers. Each room seems to echo with the weight of untold stories, the cold biting deeper than just your skin.

Monroe, ever the enigma, seems as haunted as the mansion itself, his sarcasm and cold demeanor hiding years of buried pain. As a writer, you’re used to weaving narratives, but this time, you’re living one—one filled with danger, deceit, and betrayal. Tension simmers between you and Monroe as his guarded nature clashes with your determination to uncover the truth. The case unravels, but so does the fragile relationship between your team.

The closer you get to the truth, the more it feels like the mansion is watching—waiting for your next move. Trapped in a place where the walls feel alive, and everyone has something to hide, you’ll have to rely on Monroe’s sharp instincts and your own resolve to survive. But with each passing moment, you start to wonder: will the truth destroy the monsters lurking in the shadows... or unleash the ones within?

As the shadows of the past close in, the lines between ally and adversary blur, and you’ll have to decide just how far you’re willing to go to uncover the truth... and to protect your own heart.

"In the end, we are all just monsters hiding behind our scars"
