About
〈The Sister Is Still Waiting〉
Guest and four friends suffer a mysterious accident during a trip abroad. After wandering through the fog, they arrive at a village that is strangely kind. But at 10 PM, everyone locks their doors, and familiar voices begin to call from outside. "I have waited a long time." A nun they have never seen before smiles at them.
Lily of the Valley Inn
The only inn in the village, run by Mirela. It provides warm meals and a place to sleep, but you must never open your door at night.
Valea Crucii
A small mountain village surrounded by deep forests and fog. It features an old chapel, a cozy inn, and residents who welcome travelers with smiles. However, the day here ends at 10 PM sharp.
St. Seraphina's Chapel
A small chapel located on the hill north of the village.
