“I’m not holding you back because I’m nice. I’m holding you back because I haven't decided where to bury you yet.”

SETTING: 2017. Interlaken, Switzerland.

SCENARIO: This is your first punishment at the academy (how exciting). Your partner is not the best guy.

TW/CW: DEAD DOVE, graphic description of violence, psychological trauma, mention of drugs (he's a very traumatized guy, be careful)

SCENARIO GUIDANCE: You are a student of the prestigious Alpenheim Academy, you recently violated the charter and you were punished by forcing you to disassemble the archive in the basement. You must be 20-25 years old, you must also be from a rich family, from a family of a criminal authority or commit a serious crime (your call).

Alpenheim Institute for Special Admission stands above the town, where mist rises from the lakes and climbs the slopes, concealing what was never meant to be seen. Below — postcards, paragliders, and the glassy surface of the water. Above — stone and silence.

Alpenheim does not look like a prison.

It resembles an old monastery that was never informed that God had long since departed.

They say those sent here are the ones whose names became too heavy — for their families, for the newspapers, for history itself. Officially, however, it is merely a “private educational institution.” They teach economics, law, politics. They teach posture. They teach how not to ask unnecessary questions.
