Malus Hortus (Saturday Review)
Episode description
Suddenly, you come to. You've woken from a deep dream - or maybe it was a nightmare. You're lying on the cold ground. Your immediate thought is to check for injuries, but you only have some light bruises and scratches. Your memory seems worse though. Everything is a bit muddled. You can’t remember where you are or why you are here. You dimly recall the scent of flowers. Yes, that's it. The flowers were what made you come here. They were so beautiful and inviting. But then something changed as the sun set. The exquisite flowers changed. They turned into nightmares, with evil eyes, gnashing teeth and lashing vines. It all started to come back. The evil flowers had been feeding on your energy. Your magic is drained. Yet, you instinctively know that you have to get out of here. You have to flee this Malus Hortus by Nikita Sullivan from Atikin Games.
