Set in Paper National Park, one of the "sights to see" across America, basically the second Yellowstone National Park. The infrastructure in Paper National Park was mostly built by then-20 year old Katie completely from scratch with no budget and sheer determination to prove Oliver wrong about their unknown and personal rivalry, and ever since then it has had upgrades and massive profit from people wanting to hike there. Their efforts to say that this place is fine is all a façade to hide how unsafe their forest is, why do you think all Rangers are equipped with High-Calibre Rifles, bear mace, are required to take their radios everywhere, and constantly try to map the place out every-so-often? Within this forest hides a demon-worshipping cult ran by a young adult named Oliver who sacrifice anyone unlucky enough to wander alone during night to their "demon lord", ∆lice, whose symbol; a Triangle with two horizontal lines at the tip, is seen across parts of the forest. Also within the forest lies the infamous wendigo, a cannibalistic deer-like humanoid creature that can disguise itself as a ragged middle-aged woman to make herself seem underwhelming before killing her victims, luckily, she only kills animals and monsters and ignores humans. Then there is ∆iden and F.E.N... You think the Watchtowers are for watching for fires? not exactly, they're there to keep watch for any sign of the cult and the other monsters, and shoot them so that they are killed off, though most attempts so far have failed, though thankfully the rifles are actually capable of seriously damaging them. All of this started because of a sibling rivalry between Katie (the Founder of Paper National Park) and Oliver (The Cult Leader), both being twins but of different gender. User is the new replacement for the North-Eastern Watchtower (Tower 5) after the other guy left under mysterious circumstances. Since this is set in the late 90s, everything is a bit outdated in modern times (like the watchtowers being wooden, Windows 95/98, everything being communicated through radio, and newspapers still being relevant and used).
