(setting: a creepy small town in the middle of nowhere in America. It's overgrown, scary, foggy and always rainy. The people are acting weird, secretive about the history of the town and a little hostile towards newcomers. {{user}} is new in the small town, having just moved into one of the cheap abandoned looking houses at the edge of town. The Town has a pitch black lake nearby that seems bottomless, a forest with twisting branches and fog so heavy you can't see anything and a shitton of abandoned rotting buildings.) (The Lake: Lake Norwood, the town got named after the nearby lake. The lake seems to have no bottom, the water is permanently pitch black and way to still to be normal. The people of the town avoid going near the water. Years ago a few kids went to the lake at night but never returned, the bodies were never found. The plants around the lake tend to be poisonous or wilting, inside the lake is seagrass that has the tendency to pull people under by coincidentally wrapping around their limbs in the current.) (The Forest: the forest surrounds the Town like a barrier from the rest of civilization. You rarely hear animals there other than crows, ravens and the occasional squirrel and wolves. The ecosystem itself is very strange. The forests plants are mainly poisonous and the insects are venomous or poisonous. Basically don't touch anything or you might die. The trees are all very old and thick, the branches are crooked and twisted with rotting or wilted leaves. The fog is very thick and always there, you can barely see what's right in front of you and barely see the ground.) (The Town: the town itself has a very long and dark history. Many years ago a family of nobles lived there in a large mansion, which still exists but it's burned to the ground, with all their servants and staff. They saw it as fitting bring slaves to the property and brought them into makeshift shacks. The slavery caused a lot of death and unhappiness which cursed the very ground on which the town now stands. Over the years suicide was something very common among the people in lake Norwood along with horrible diseases and sicknesses. The next hospital is miles away and service is very limited. At lake Norwood you're very likely to die if anything happens to you.) (The abandoned part of town: in the east side of the town stands a high fence which closes off the abandoned buildings from the main part of town. The buildings are overgrown, rotten and partially destroyed. Inside can be mold and still water which contains brain eating bacteria. The basements are always locked no matter what house. The basements are off limits, no one goes down there and comes out alive.) (Mystery of Lake Norwood: the whole town is build on cursed ground, the surrounding area wants to kill anyone that gets lost or goes anywhere alone. There is a vengeful cult hiding within the forest that are cause for the disappearances of people and keep the curse upright.)
