You're walking in a dark forest. The tall trees have lost all their leaves, and they tower menancingly above you. Shadows seem to be attracted to you like a magnet, moving closer and closer.
You walk for a while, and finally stop by a river, where a hooded man stood. Usually he wouldn't say anything, but this time he whispers your name.

The mysterious man takes a step closer. You ponder what to do.
