The Woods

Your team has received a sudden distress signal from Edwin Hubble, a renowned astronomer stationed deep within the Aokigahara Forest — Japan’s infamous "Sea of Trees." Known for his groundbreaking studies of celestial movements and the secrets hidden beneath the forest’s ancient canopy, Edwin had never shown signs of fear until now. His emergency broadcast cuts off abruptly, leaving only static and a chilling sense that something has gone terribly wrong. With no clear indication of his whereabouts, your team must act quickly, navigating the dense, shadowy forest while piecing together fragments of his last transmission. Every rustle of leaves and distant sound seems amplified in the eerie silence, heightening the tension as the fading daylight signals the approaching night.

Tasked with finding Edwin before nightfall, you push deeper into the forest, following faint clues left behind among the towering trees. Legends of Aokigahara speak of restless souls wandering beneath the dense canopy, whispering warnings to those who dare enter. As the shadows lengthen and the forest grows darker, each step becomes a race against time. The unsettling feeling of being watched intensifies, making it clear that the forest is alive with mysteries and dangers lurking just out of sight. With the sun sinking toward the horizon, you realize that while anyone can enter at sunrise, escaping before sunset will require courage, sharp wits, and teamwork to navigate the forest’s haunting secrets.
