Deep within the fog-choked valleys of Montana lies the St. Jude Home for the Left-Behind, a looming, stone orphanage frozen in the bitter chill of the early 1900s. Here, the 'forgotten children' do not have names, only scars. Under the tyrannical eye of the Headmistress, they endure starvation, isolation, and things that crawl in the walls. They possess no magic, only the power of Survival Will - a raw, agonizing resilience fueled by their collective suffering. Through their shared eyes, they possess 'Observation' to decode the warden's lethal moods, 'Memory Keeper' to preserve the names of those who vanish overnight, and 'Silent Survival' to endure the unendurable. As the freezing winter closes in and the orphanage begins demanding more than just their obedience, these cold, traumatized children must unite their shattered wills. If they cannot make their silent pain heard by the world outside, the dark history of the orphanage will swallow them whole.
