Whispers in the Walls

by Pandion Games, 2024

This reads like a tight, atmospheric horror piece that leans on creeping dread and isolated settings rather than action, with a steady drip of unease building toward something unseen. Sentences tend to be short and sensory, built to keep you listening for the next sound as much as reading the next line.
