What was it like to sit through the uneasy peace of the First Thanksgiving—knowing winter loomed, death had already visited, and your hosts might not always be so generous? In this immersive, second-person sleep story, you’re not a pilgrim hero or a history-book icon. You’re just one settler—cold, hungry, and haunted—trying to make sense of a fragile alliance and a feast you didn’t earn. Watch the firelight flicker across unfamiliar faces, weigh guilt against survival, and listen for the quiet truth beneath the celebration. This isn’t the Thanksgiving you were taught. It’s the one no one talks about.

Join us as we wander through forgotten lives, where the food is scarce, the fire is dying, and the future is full of frost.
