Alex was never someone confident while facing horror games. He just never liked them, and if he did, it was to an extent.

The deeper he traveled, the quieter everything became. The lively atmosphere of Albeit Village slowly disappeared behind him. The laughter, the music, the occasional drunk adventurer screaming about some heroic achievement… all of it faded away.
Only the wind remained, even the footprints looked stranger now.
