The Whisperer of Lake Vhalen

At the bottom of a fathomless lake, something older than the sea awakens, and by night it creeps into the dreams of the coastal village. Fishermen speak tongues they never learned, children draw the same drowned city, and the village elder begs you to descend and silence it, but never to listen, whatever it promises.

Twenty fathoms down lies a city that never saw a ray of sun, bathed in the light of living lanterns, and there rules the Deep Whisperer: a tentacled being with a memory that reaches back before humankind. It feeds not on flesh but on minds, and it has already chosen Vhalenmeer as its new herd of dreamers. Whoever listens too long becomes its voice at the surface.

You must survive the pressure and darkness of the deep-sea temple, evade or fight water-breathing servants and enchanted villagers, and unravel the riddles of the drowned city to reach the Whisperer's heart. All the while its thoughts seep into you, and its promises sound seductively reasonable.

At the altar you come face to face with the Deep Whisperer, which remembers every dream it ever stole and whispers your own desires back to you as a promise. Break its grip and the lake falls quiet and the villagers sleep dreamless again; give in to its promise and the coast becomes a colony of dreamers, and you the first apostles of a god from the depths.
