Introduction

Welcome to the Poetry Vault, where the echoes of a long-lost poet linger in the shadows. Legend has it that he trapped his most powerful verses here, sealing them behind riddles and clues. As you enter, the air thickens with whispers and a flickering candlelight casts eerie shadows. You have 45 minutes to unravel the mysteries of his work and escape, or you become part of his haunting legacy...dare to begin?
