The Cycle of Life
In a remote mountain valley, hours away from the nearest city, lie the ruins of what was once a tiny village of only a few dozen households. Decades ago, a devastating fire burned everything down. The area’s isolation meant that, for years, the authorities have left these ruins untouched.
Tonight, five people – seemingly without any connection – are given the same message by a mysterious caller: “Come to the village ruins tonight, alone. Only then will you find the truth.”
Once they arrive, the road leading back disappears. They have no choice but to find the truth before the end of the night: What is the true identity of the mysterious man linking them all?

Bloodcraft the Magic
During the late Italian middle ages, many forces vie for power in an increasingly tumultuous era. In the backdrop, outbreaks of plague are cropping up all across the Apennine Peninsula.
There is a small, desolate island off the southern coast of Naples that houses a now-abandoned castle. Chilling rumours say that it was once home to a pagan cult known for human sacrifice.
A number of visitors arrive at the island’s historic castle, each with their own motives and secrets.
As the turbulent waves batter the island’s shores, as the stale air moves through the castle’s dark corridors, and as ghosts of the past revive themselves before these unsuspecting travelers, what mysteries will unfold?

Upon the Altar of the Blood Moon (testing in progress)
Legends tell of a secluded lake deep within Moonshadow Forest, said to swell with mysterious power under the rise of every blood moon. On a fateful night, six strangers will arrive there – each drawn by secrets they can no longer outrun – and uncover the ancient shrine hidden beneath the lake’s still waters.
When the blood moon reaches its peak, they are horrified to discover – draped over the altar, bathed in blood – the lifeless body of the exalted High Priest. The killer must be unmasked before dawn, lest an ancient evil be set loose upon the world.
With guidance from the Divines and only each other to rely on, these unlikely visitors must confront not only the darkness around them – but the tangled truths that bind their fates together.

Worms Against Humanity
It is Sept 20, 2123. The space age has begun. Expeditions into other worlds are both a blessing and a curse, as humanity is now ravaged by a deadly alien parasite, called WRM-19 (”the worm”).
Drug regulations are bent in favour of a quick time to market – lives are at stake and every minute matters.
The cure, named BLU-01, will be delivered from Sat 34 to Earth by SS Karma and crew, led by the seasoned Captain Black.
However, the spacecraft performs an emergency landing less than four hours into the trip. The esteemed Captain is dead and the cure is nowhere to be found. What on Andromeda could have taken place on the SS Karma?
