Light is oppression — survive between the light and the shadow

As a vampire, you joined an expedition of your kin into the fabled Hollow of the Angel, lured by the possibility of priceless blood crystals known as Tears of the Angel. Your kind's unique vision made navigating the pitch-black tunnels effortless, and soon you reached the mine’s deepest layer—the mineralized zone.

But the moment the blood crystal was extracted, everything changed. The shaft collapsed, madness overtook your companions, and worst of all: the once-dark underground world is now filled with blazing light. Even a single misstep into its searing glow could mean instant death.

You must tread carefully, using every shadow for shelter, and mastering the dance between light and darkness to stay alive.
