Grief is a ghost that only time can exorcise. But some wounds run too deep for even time to heal.

Edmund comes to the remote village of Black Thickett to escape the life that grief has carved out of him. He wants silence. Distance. A place where memories can't follow.

But Black Thickett is wrong in quiet, unsettling ways.

The broken road becomes perfectly smooth the moment he crosses the boundary. The cottages are too neat, too deliberate. And on a noticeboard full of dry flyers, only one poster is wet - a missing boy, smiling as if he doesn't know he's lost.

The villagers won't talk about the disappearances. Instead, they whisper warnings about the dark treeline looming over the square.

The forest at the edge of the village seems to breathe, and the deeper Edmund goes, the calmer he feels... dangerously so. The woods can quiet his pain. It can ease his grief. It can make him forget the agony of his past.

But the peace of the forest comes with a terrible price. Not everything that heals you wants you to survive.

Welcome to Black Thickett. Once the forest notices you, it never lets go.
