　　A long time ago, in a small and quiet town, the Ivywood family tragically died in a mysterious fire. The cause of the fire was never determined.

　　Fast forward to 2023. It's Halloween night, and Rosemary, her best friend Autumn, and her younger brother Heath are going out trick or treating. Rosemary can't believe she has to babysit her brother tonight, when she should be able to be out having fun with all of her friends!

　　The night is going as planned, until Heath runs off into the forest, behind a burnt down house that they've never noticed before...

　　Will Rosemary and Autumn be able to find him? Will they make it out alive?

　　Rosemary:

　　- 12 years old

　　- Dressed up as a bat

　　She loves adventure and excitement. Probably a bit too stubborn. She wishes she didn’t have to babysit tonight so she could get up to something actually fun.

　　Autumn:

　　- 12 years old

　　- Dressed up as a (cute) witch

　　Rosemary’s kindhearted best friend. She’s popular with the kids at school. She’s not much for scary things, and only came out to hang out with Rosemary.

　　Heath:

　　- 5 years old

　　- Dressed up as a pumpkin

　　Rosemary’s little brother. He loves trick or treating and animals, and is excited to get a bunch of candy! He wishes his sister was a bit nicer to him, though...
