Episode 1 · Episode Round 1

As Merrin emerges from the chute, she finds herself in a small chamber filled with the stench of rotting flesh. The walls are covered in ancient carvings that seem to pulse with a malevolent energy. The glowing-eyed creatures are still closing in around her, their bioluminescent markings casting eerie shadows on the walls. Suddenly, the ground beneath her gives way again, and Merrin feels herself sliding towards a large, iron door with a complex locking mechanism. The door creaks open, revealing a narrow passageway that leads deeper into the heart of the tower. The creatures follow close behind, their tentacles writhing in the air as they surge forward. Merrin must decide quickly whether to follow the passageway or try to find another way to escape the chamber.
I glance around the chamber, my eyes darting from the glowing-eyed creatures to the ancient carvings on the walls. The air is thick with the stench of decay and corruption, and I can feel a malevolent presence lurking just out of sight. Suddenly, the ground beneath me gives way again, and I find myself sliding towards a large, iron door with a complex locking mechanism.
