Stranger falls into the Upside Down
The air tastes like rot and copper. Ash falls like snow from a bruised sky, and the ground beneath your feet pulses with something alive. You crashed through a tear in reality moments ago, and now the Upside Down closes around you like a fist. Tentacles writhe in the distance. Spores drift through dead trees.

They've survived this hell before. But they've never seen anything like you. The artifact in your pocket burns hot against your skin, humming with the same frequency as the nightmare realm around you. It brought you here. And something massive stirs in the shadows, drawn to its song.
