At a quiet, routine excavation site, a team of archaeologists makes an unsettling discovery: a series of face-like carvings, their features eerily lifelike, embedded deep within ancient stone.

 

At first, they treat the find as a curiosity, a glimpse into a forgotten culture or lost ritual.​ But as the dig progresses, the carvings begin to shift. Faces that were once still appear to change expression, their hollow eyes following the team.

 

Tools go missing, strange vibrations stir beneath the ground, and a creeping sense of unease spreads through the camp.

​

It soon becomes clear that what they’ve unearthed isn’t simply history, it’s something alive. Something that has waited centuries to be disturbed. And now, what was buried refuses to stay still.
