Bury Your Demons (Demo Drop!)

Synopsis

Following the death of your father, you flee London to take up an assistant teaching position at a remote, Spartan academy on the Cumbrian coast. Safe behind its cold stone walls, you hope to bury the ghosts of your past and the horrific memory of the pier. Instead, you find yourself trapped in an institution where madness strikes without reason. As unnatural horrors begin to tear through the estate, you realize that whatever darkness took hold of you years ago has followed you to Blackwood—and stopping it will force you to face the truths you left buried.

Romantic Interests

Gabriel Hayes

The senior master of history and literature at Blackwood. Possessing an effortless, charismatic charm and a warm demeanor, he stands out like a beacon against the school’s dreary backdrop. He offers you patience, intellect, and a gentle refuge—if you are willing to trust his easy smile.

Nicholas Malone (or so he says)

The academy’s frail, reclusive groundskeeper. Sickly, soft-spoken, and walking with the aid of a cane, he lives quietly under an assumed identity to hide his true origins. He carries a unknown devotion to you—one that has burned uninterrupted since childhood, even as you fail to recognize the boy from your past.

Evangeline “Eva” Vane

A sweet, observant maid at Blackwood Academy who offers a soft, comforting presence in an otherwise cold environment. Quiet and quick to lend a helping hand, she moves through the gaslit halls like a shadow, keeping her own counsel. But beneath her gentle demeanor lies a sharp mind and deep, dangerous secrets that tie her directly to the academy’s hidden history.
