Wendigo AI Story
Some say every wendigo story begins with hunger, but that’s not true. Some begin with silence, with tracks that don’t match any known animal, with a scream that cuts off too quickly. She knows the signs, even if no one else wants to name them.
The others call it a rescue mission, she calls it what it is: too late.
They find torn tents, empty boots in the snow, a map marked with places that no longer exist. Something moves just beyond the edge of their firelight, not the storm, but something far more deliberate. Something that watches, but never runs. That devours, but never feeds.
In the story of the wendigo, the true horror lies not in the fangs and claws, but in what remains after. The doubt, the cold, the urge to turn on each other. Out here, even memory can’t be trusted. Did she hear someone calling her name, or was it just the wind?
Each step forward blurs the line between search party and prey. Because in these mountains, no one just disappears, they’re taken. And something always survives.
