Blooming Curse

You wake up shivering on a steel table, the cold sterile air biting against your skin. Dim, flickering lights cast long shadows across the laboratory walls, and the sharp tang of antiseptic mingles with a far more unsettling scent—one of rot and decay. Machines hum softly in the background, their shapes and functions impossible to decipher but somehow deeply wrong. Your body feels...off. Your only thought is to escape. But the closer you get to the freedom you crave, the stronger the curse's grip becomes. Can you make it out with your soul intact? Or will you be consumed, reshaped into something unrecognizable? Using a deck of playing cards to prompt you, in each turn you'll document your thoughts, actions, and the shifting balance between fleeting hope and creeping despair. The cards will guide you through moments of danger, discoveries that chill you to the core, and rare glimpses of fragile hope. Your Humanity and Mutation will teeter on a knife's edge, pushing you closer to an ending that could mean escape—or full surrender to the curse. The question lingers: Will you hold fast to the fragments of your human soul, or will the curse drag you into its monstrous embrace? The path is yours to walk, but beware—this curse won’t let you leave unscathed.
