The Drowned Tide

When a violent storm leaves three friends stranded in the waters off the coast of Dunwich Harbor, they wash ashore on an island that should not exist.Hidden beneath endless fog and surrounded by black tides, the island feels abandoned at first - until the bells begin ringing.As the men venture deeper inland, they discover a decaying village frozen somewhere outside of time, inhabited by drowned figures who watch in silence and speak of "the crossing." Beneath the island, ancient tunnels stretch downward into flooded chambers where something vast and impossible moves beneath the sea.And somewhere along the shoreline, a silent ferryman patrols the fog in a narrow canoe, waiting for the lost.What begins as a desperate fight for survival slowly becomes something far worse: a journey into grief, memory, and an ancient force that refuses to release the dead.Atmospheric, haunting, and deeply unsettling, The Drowned Tide blends maritime folk horror with cosmic dread in a nightmare of fog-shrouded oceans, drowned villages, and the terrifying things the sea remembers.
