Light the seals in a secret order before the Darkness takes you. One of you is Possessed.

Rules

1. Five seals stand before you. They must be lit in a strict secret order — but no one knows it fully.
2. Each medium holds one true clue about the order (“Moon before Serpent”, “Eye is last”). Speak up and combine them.
3. Anyone may try to light the next seal. Right — it ignites. Wrong — the Darkness rises faster.
4. One of you is secretly Possessed: a false clue, misdirection, and twice per game they can snuff a lit seal.
5. The Darkness rises over time and on mistakes. Light all five seals before it peaks — or it consumes everyone.
