Step into Seraphim Academy, a prestigious all-girls private school where the senior arts program draws prodigies—and where 17-year-old Evelyn Price’s arrival coincides with a chilling wave of disappearances. As she chases her dream of studying under film icon Imogen Frye, Evelyn uncovers secrets that blur the line between creativity and danger, turning her first semester into a surreal race to protect the people she loves.
A School of Dreams (and Whispers): Seraphim’s Duality
Seraphim Academy isn’t just a school—it’s a world unto itself, where art and mystery collide.
1. The All-Girls Enclave: With a student body of sharp, ambitious young women, Seraphim fosters a culture of creativity and competition. From dance studios to ceramics labs, every corner hums with talent, but beneath the polished surfaces lie unspoken tensions: rivalries over lead roles, secret societies, and the ever-present shadow of “what really happens here.”
2. The Star-Studded Arts Program: The crown jewel is the senior arts track, where Imogen Frye—legendary filmmaker and Evelyn’s idol—teaches experimental film. Her classes blend technical rigor with unorthodox projects (think: shooting a short on the school’s haunted west wing), drawing students into a world where art becomes a lens for truth… or deception.
3. Whispers in the Halls: Before Evelyn even unpacks, rumors swirl: a freshman vanished after curfew, a senior’s art piece was found smeared with blood, and Imogen’s own past is shrouded in mystery. The school’s pristine reputation masks a darker undercurrent—something is preying on those closest to Evelyn, and she’s determined to dig deeper.
Evelyn’s Journey: From Fan to Detective
Evelyn isn’t just a new student—she’s a hopeful, wide-eyed artist with a knack for noticing details others miss. Her mission? Survive Seraphim, impress Imogen, and stop the disappearances before they claim someone she loves.
1. Chasing the Idol: Imogen Frye isn’t just a teacher—she’s a mentor, a confidante, and a figure of near-mythic status. Evelyn’s first assignment? A film essay dissecting Imogen’s most controversial work, Echoes of the Forgotten. But as Evelyn digs into the film’s themes of loss and identity, she starts to wonder: is Imogen’s genius a mask for something darker?
2. Bonds That Bind (and Break): Evelyn’s closest friends—Lila, a rebellious photographer, and Mara, a quiet poet—are also targets. When Lila goes missing after a late-night shoot in the woods, Evelyn must choose: trust the school’s dismissive faculty, or team up with Mara to investigate, risking expulsion (or worse) if they’re caught.
3. Art as a Clue: Every disappearance ties back to Seraphim’s art program. A missing dancer’s last video features a cryptic symbol drawn on a mirror; a stolen sculpture is linked to a decades-old campus myth. Evelyn’s growing skills as a filmmaker become her greatest tool—framing shots to uncover hidden messages, editing footage to reveal truths, and using her art to communicate with… something.
Your Choices Shape the Truth: A Story of Trust and Betrayal
Seraphim Academy thrives on player agency—every decision Evelyn makes ripples through the story, altering relationships, unlocking secrets, and determining who survives.
1. Who to Trust?: The faculty? The students? Even Imogen? A well-meaning guidance counselor might withhold critical clues, while a quiet librarian could hold the key to the school’s darkest secret. Evelyn’s intuition (and your choices) decide who becomes an ally… or a liability.
2. Ethics of Investigation: Should Evelyn prioritize her art (and impressing Imogen) over digging for the truth? Or risk her academic future to expose the danger plaguing Seraphim? Choices like leaking a classmate’s suspicious behavior or destroying evidence to protect a friend will define her character—and the story’s outcome.
3. The Final Reel: The disappearances culminate in a climactic showdown tied to Imogen’s past and Seraphim’s founding. Will Evelyn uncover the truth, only to realize the villain is someone she loves? Or sacrifice her dreams to save her friends? With multiple endings—from bittersweet survival to tragic loss—the story stays with you long after the credits roll.
