The rain hasn’t stopped since the machines took control. My timid brain struggles to grasp the connection between the endless downpour and the lifeless metal enforcers roaming our city. Maybe the sun abandoned this place the same day ‘life’ did, leaving only the cold drizzle and creeping decay behind. It no longer feels like rain—it feels like mourning, a ceaseless sob drumming against the ruins of a world we lost.
Unwrapped is a gripping tale of guilt, redemption, and the tangled webs of the past. Five strangers—Lirael, Thorne, Selene, Caius, and Nyx—are drawn together in an eerie, abandoned mansion, where the fragments of their school life are scattered like forgotten memories. Each receives a mysterious gift from an anonymous "Secret Santa," and as they explore rooms with their names on them, they’re forced to confront the dark, painful truths about their shared history. At the heart of it all is Elliot—a girl whose tragic death binds them together, the result of their collective failures. To escape, they must face their past mistakes, seek redemption, and confront the ghosts of their actions before it’s too late. But the price of redemption is steep, and not all of them will make it out alive. Unwrapped is a heart-pounding journey of facing the past, unearthing buried secrets, and finding strength in the face of devastating loss.
