🛑 YOU ARE NOT THE MURDERER.

But you’ve been carrying the key since before you knew what it unlocked.


Additional Backstory:

The first night in town, you dreamed of walking deep underground. In the dream, you held the medallion. It burned cold. You placed it in a stone slab… and something behind the wall opened its eyes.

You woke up sweating.
And the medallion had left a faint imprint on your palm.

Then, a few days later, Reggie handed you a recording he thought was static.
But you heard your name.
Spoken in Red’s voice.

“Sarah. Keep the key warm.”


New Motivation:

Find what the medallion opens.
If it’s a vault — choose whether to open it.
If it’s a person — decide whether to protect them.


Clue You Possess:

  • A medallion marked with a triple-circle rune

  • A map Red marked with a path that leads to a stone altar no one else has acknowledged

  • A burned-in pattern that glows faintly under flashlight

  • And a riddle on the medallion’s rim:

    “She who carries the seal must never knock three times.”

You haven’t told anyone that you already did.
And something… knocked back.
