You take a moment to weigh your options, heart pounding in your chest. Your friend, or what used to be your friend, is growing closer, its twisted body charging at an unnatural speed. The sign for Viktor’s Peak to the left promises danger with freezing temperatures, but it could provide cover, and perhaps the cold might slow down whatever has overtaken your friend. To the right, Hell’s Gates looms as a dark, treacherous cave. It’s known for being dangerous, but its size offers the chance of hiding, and if you can navigate the collapsing passages, you might escape temporarily.

Your breath is shallow, your thoughts scrambled as the grotesque creature behind you howls, each step drawing it nearer. Every second counts.

Do you head toward Viktor’s Peak or take the risk of running into Hell’s Gates?
