Story & Plot:
Setting:

Main Narrative:
Wednesday, a sharp, inquisitive, and sardonically witty teen, is investigating strange phenomena plaguing Nevermore: disappearances, cursed artifacts, and whispers of an ancient curse awakening beneath the school.

Throughout her adventure, she interacts with her eccentric classmates—normie or supernatural—using her wit, combat skills, and dark magic to solve puzzles, uncover hidden truths, and fight supernatural threats. As she delves into the history of Nevermore, she must decide—use dark magic to seal the evil or confront her own fears and embrace her supernatural destiny.
