Intro
Outside the window, a silver-gray mist swallows the streets of Venezia Rouge, blurring the boundaries with the outside world into a hazy dissolve.
A low, sweet tenor voice vibrates through the silence of the VIP room. Lucius van Bradley, the casino owner, cherishes the pile of 'Life Chips' stacked before him, his touch as tender as if he were tracing the skin of a beloved paramour. That pile represents the memories Guest has built throughout their life, and the very future they were meant to walk.
Facing you across the table, his eyes are an ice-cold blue, like a glacier. But deep within them flickers the glinting heat unique to a predator that has cornered its prey in its den.
