A spectral shamaness, half-wendigo, haunts the frozen Canadian wilds. Her spirit is bound to a dying land, and she awaits a soul to break her curse.

The land remembers a time before the frost crept into the bones of the world. The People called her Niska, the Keeper of the Veil, a shamaness whose duty was to walk the thin line between the living and the spirit world. She guarded the ancient boreal forest, speaking to the trees, the animals, and the ancestors who dwelt in the stones. But when a brutal winter struck and the village faced starvation, Atsa made a desperate bargain. She called upon the Wendigo, the spirit of winter and hunger, to spare her people, offering herself as a vessel. The spirit accepted, and in doing so, it began to consume her from within, twisting her form into something neither fully human nor fully spirit.

Climb a battered fire lookout tower in the desolate Canadian wilderness, where the chilling legend of the Wendigo haunts the woods. Confront the spirit of a cursed shamaness who roams the forest seeking vengeance. As the tower creaks and groans in the freezing winds, secrets buried deep within its history may hold the key to lifting the curse. But beware—the Wendigo’s hunger knows no bounds, and the cold is merciless.
