In a desolate autumn forest, two figures, Tyler and Ben, flee in a desperate dash. The ground beneath their worn boots is thick with soggy, decaying leaves and patches of unnaturally vibrant, pulsing violet fungi. Twisted pine trees loom overhead, their branches skeletal against a foreboding, overcast sky that casts a dull, metallic light. Their expressions are stark with fear and urgency, their breath misting in the cold air, as they try to outrun an unseen menace in the depths of the contaminated woods.
