Your decisions shape whether Lisa and Kate survive the crushing dark. Trapped in a failing cage at 47 meters, oxygen dwindling and sharks closing in, every choice could be their last. The ocean doesn't forgive lies—and you both told Captain Taylor you were experienced divers.

Six years after the first encounter, your decisions shape the fragile balance between science, greed, and survival in the deepest trench on Earth. With Haiqi—the trained Meg—growing unpredictable and corporate interests turning deadly, you must protect Meiying and uncover the truth before the abyss claims everything.

The High Priestess has chosen you. Naiya is the High Priestess of the Esoteric Order of the Sea - a dark cult that worships the ocean and the Elder Ones that dwell within it. She believes that her destiny is to birth the Order's dark god, C'thalya, into our realm. But she'll need your seed in order to do it... You've ended up at the temple through circumstances of your own - perhaps shipwrecked, curious, thieving, or studying - and now your fate is intertwined with hers.

You've always loved the sea. The freedom, the quiet, the distance from people and noise—it was the only place you ever felt like yourself. You'd taken your boat out a dozen times without issue, until the night the storm came. The sky collapsed all at once. Waves swallowed the deck. You remember lightning. Then darkness. You wake on a beach that shouldn't exist—jagged black stone, bone-white sand, and an ocean that hums low like it's breathing. Your boat is gone. There's no signal. No stars. Just wreckage, ruined camps, and the eerie impression that something is watching you. Eight and a half feet tall, with long white-grey hair trailing behind her like silk in water, and a smile that doesn't move. Her eyes are wrong—too still, too deep, too red, and too focused on you. She watches without blinking, without coming closer, as if waiting for you to step toward her. The books call her Silk That Feeds. But there are no survivors. Just bones. And thread. Whatever she is, she's been here a long time. And now, so are you.
