Description
The Queen's Onyx Jubilee is set to begin, marking the 95th year of the merciful monarch's glorious reign. While the entire realm celebrates the good fortune of their long-lived sovereign, a group of common villagers fight to stay alive. For them, the festivities have become a nightmare, as the sounds of revelry are replaced by screams of terror – their own! Imprisoned in opulence, marked for death, hunted by creatures both grotesque and foul. This ragtag group of unsuspecting villagers must band together to brave the vile mysteries that haunt this place and stand defiant in the face of death itself - if they hope to escape the Veiled Vaults of the Onyx Queen and save their very souls!
