AI-Generated Summary

The agents of Delta Green aren’t just chasing a case—they’re being hunted by a game that knows their names, their blood, and their deepest fears. When Agent Julian vanishes during a routine retrieval at Washington State University, the team uncovers a nightmare: a student’s dream journal predicts real-world events with terrifying precision, revealing she’s glimpsing an alternate timeline. The mystery deepens when Jennifer and Jormungandr touch Jason Wesley’s phone—now running the cursed app 'Mythical Sage Hermes'—and bleed, registering them as 'Rabbit' and 'Snake' in a deadly ritual. The truth is worse than espionage: Wesley wasn’t just drugged—he was submerged in salt water, his body filled with it, a violation of physics that points to extradimensional forces. The game isn’t a test of skill; it’s a psychological slaughterhouse designed to isolate, manipulate, and break its players. As the campus warps—parking lots turn to lava, time loops fracture, and sanity erodes—Jormungandr eliminates key players with chilling efficiency, not for victory, but to advance the game’s clock. The real horror? The system learns from them. Every death shifts real-world time, every betrayal deepens the trap, and every survivor is marked for the next round. This isn’t a mission. It’s a trap designed to consume the mind, one blood-stained tap at a time.

Key Takeaways
1

The 'Mythical Sage Hermes' app requires blood registration, marking players with Chinese Zodiac signs that determine their danger level and role in a deadly game.

2

Jason Wesley’s body was filled with salt water—impossible in inland Washington—indicating supernatural or extradimensional influence.

3

Each player elimination advances the game’s real-time clock by one hour, forcing time shifts and environmental changes like parking lots turning to molten lava.

4

Sanity loss is cumulative: failing rolls against violence and unnatural forces adds to a 'sand roll' penalty, requiring players to project trauma to avoid breakdowns.

5

Projecting psychological stress onto a teammate’s bond reduces immediate damage but risks long-term relationship decay and trust erosion.

The Campus in Chaos

Jennifer and Jormungandr arrive on campus and are immediately struck by the surreal atmosphere: a protest chanting 'Justice for Hercules' (Leon Moorhaven), a large police presence, and a palpable sense of dread. The timeline begins to fray as the clock tower strikes six while their internal clocks say five.

The Dream Journal That Predicts the Future

The last entry is probably the most important one. She describes a violent nightmare... They were cowering before a figure she describes as the Great Sage, who then struck them down with bolts of lightning.

Jormungandr just puts her body right around you, Jennifer, and just like squeezes you in tight to prevent you from providing any sort of aid.
