Some secrets are buried in silence. Others refuse to stay hidden.

Elara never expected a knock on her neighbor’s door to change everything. But when Liam—silent, guarded, and wrapped in mystery—hands her a note instead of speaking, she realizes his silence holds more than unspoken words. It holds a past he cannot outrun.

A forgotten journal. A map leading to a place that shouldn’t exist. A door buried in the earth—waiting to be opened. As Elara and Liam follow the clues, the shadows around them stir, whispering of something lost… and something that wants to be found.
What happens when you listen to the silence?

You hear the things that were never meant to be spoken.

When Silence Speaks

The darkness was absolute, a tangible entity that pressed in from all sides, a thick, suffocating void that swallowed every breath, every heartbeat, every flicker of light. It was a darkness that went beyond the absence of light, a primal abyss that seeped into their very souls. 


“Elara?” Liam’s voice, tight with controlled panic, echoed through the suffocating blackness. She could hear the faint scrape of his boots against the stone floor as he edged closer, his movements cautious, his senses heightened. 


“I’m here,” she whispered, her voice barely audible, though she wasn’t entirely sure where “here” was anymore. The darkness had disoriented her, stripping away her sense of direction, leaving her adrift in a sea of nothingness.
