The dark back alleys of Gothic City have their own rules, even their own life. This is no secret to every inhabitant oft he shady metropolis. Myriads of people live and die on the cold asphalt oft he street while normal citizens pass them by without even taking a notice. Many a dead body bent by cold, violence or drug abuse is found at morning only to be disposed with next day’s trash.
Those are the rules of living, be as sad as they are.
But lately they have seemed to change. People disappear. Children. Street kids have always been a tragic reality of every day life but their population is drastically dwindling. They walk into the winding alleys of Gothic City to never return, to vanish between the gray and filthy walls. Some of those roads simply end blind, lead around in circles or form labyrinthine mazes. It is as if a malevolent intelligence twists and turns the ways through the shadier parts oft he cities. No one knows what happens tot he poor victims of those corrupted roads, only that no one ever returns. Whatever is in there, it claims more every day.
As more and more of the few truly innocent inhabitants of Gothic City are added tot he casualty list two caring heroes see themselves forced to take on the urban darkness. Only fate knows what they will encounter on their quest.
