Mindweave: Threads of the Shattered Dawn
In this realm, every thought a person has-every fleeting idea, fear, or dream-manifests as a living, feral creature that hunts its thinker. Not metaphors, not spirits-tangible, snarling things with claws, eyes, and appetites. A stray worry about failing becomes a skittering, needle-toothed rodent gnawing at your heels. A lustful daydream morphs into a sleek, purring predator stalking you through the streets. The more you think, the more you summon, and the stronger they grow. Suppress your mind, and you're safe-until the silence births its own monstrous void-beast. Our protagonist, Vrix, is a "Thoughtmute"-someone born with a rare glitch where their thoughts don't spawn creatures. In a society of walled cities where people live half-drugged or lobotomized to keep their minds tame, Vrix is both a freak and a weapon. They're hired to infiltrate a city ruled by a tyrant Named Vexarch who's somehow tamed his thought-beasts into an army-hulking, shimmering abominations born of his ambition and cruelty. But here's the shock: Vrix discovers their own muteness is unraveling, and their first thought-beast-a colossal, eyeless creature of dripping ink and screams, its tendrils coiling like liquid shadows, its maw a jagged tear pulsing with the echoes of suppressed rage-might be the key to breaking the world or remaking it.
