City Ghost

Standing at the bow of your boat, you watch the fir trees of the ruined port emerge from the fog.
This is your first glimpse of the forgotten ghost city, last known location of your missing brother.
In your hands, you hold the tattered scrolls that you received from him months ago. They contain his scribbled notes: a testimony to his mad attempt at mapping out the labyrinthine ruins lost to the mist…
Now, it’s your turn to explore every notch of this haunted place, if that’s what it takes to bring him home.
You just hope you don’t become the next city ghost…
