Crypt... T: The Past Never Forgets Its Dead

When Marsh, a reluctant historian, agrees to lead a reenactment tour at the long-abandoned Gallowmere Prison, he expects nothing more than cold stone, urban legends, and a paycheck. But from the moment he unlocks the gate, something is wrong. The air tastes like memory. The corridors rearrange themselves. The guests begin to vanish.

Among them is Alma, a trauma counselor with eyes too knowing and a voice that stirs something buried in Marsh's bones. As cryptic letters appear in his own handwriting—dated 1871—and lost hours stretch into black holes, Marsh begins to question the boundaries of identity, time, and truth.

The prison doesn't just hold echoes. It remembers.

And it’s been waiting for him.

With each step into Gallowmere’s decaying wings, Marsh is drawn deeper into a labyrinth of forgotten crimes, false names, and the unraveling of everything he thought was real.

But some stories don’t stay buried.

Some names were never meant to be erased.

And some prisons were never built to contain the guilty…

Who was Marsh before the door opened?

And what will he become when the stone starts breathing again?
