Den

Virginia, 1995. A child vanishes from his bedroom in the dead of night. Hours later, a police raid on a notorious drug house erupts in sirens and broken doors, only to reveal something far worse than a crime scene. The house is empty. And it was never meant to be entered. When the officers cross its threshold, reality fractures, time shifts, and something ancient is watching.Dragged from their world, three officers are thrown into a blackened fairytale where pain never ends, death offers no escape, and the land itself hunts them. The Dark Lands: where cities crumble, and twisted myths wear human faces. Every door opens into a deeper nightmare, and escape is a lie.As the realm closes in, Officer Hattie Henderson's greatest enemy becomes her own perception; her buried trauma awakening as a sadistic intelligence begins testing the limits of her endurance, judgment, and control.Officer Mei Lin, driven by truth, uncovers a buried history behind the realm; one so vast it threatens to unravel reality itself, as she races to stop the ancient witch who feeds on fear and suffering.Officer Mike Richtor wants only one thing: to survive. In a world that rewards brutality and feeds on pride, he will burn, kill, and betray anything in his path, until the cost of freedom forces him to confront what he's become.But the greatest threat is not what hunts them. It's what they are becoming.DEN is a relentless descent into psychological horror and brutal dark fantasy, a world where twisted fairytales rot, fear is paid in blood, and survival means confronting the very things that break you. Some doors should never be opened.
