'Once you board, you aren't just a rider. You're a new part to the ride.'
The music is the first thing you hear a wet, whistling melody that sounds like a choir of the damned... In the heart of Blackwood Forest, a legend waits in the fog. It's an antique carousel of breath taking beauty, a masterpiece of gold leaf and bone-white porcelain. But for Elias and Odette, the wonder lasts only until the first turn of the crank.
The Collector doesn't want your ticket. He wants your skin.
As the platform accelerates, the nightmare reveals its true face. This isn't a ride; it's a living, breathing slaughterhouse. The horses are upholstered in human hide. The hydraulics run on pressurized blood. And the 'grease' keeping the gears turning? It used to be people just like you.
Now, trapped in a centrifugal meat-grinder, Odette and Elias must face a harrowing choice: Betray the one you love to lighten the load, or be ground into the gears forever. As the iron bolts drive through their feet and the Collector's needle begins to dance, they realize the ultimate law of the woods: In the Carousel, nothing goes to waste... and the music never, ever stops.
