The Netherhood is a compact supernatural district under the Underrealm Office Network. Streets shift, shadows whisper, and residents ignore minor infractions. Nightmare Logistics, the Bone Registry, and various clubs keep the chaos organized. The hero's quiet presence often dampens the worst outbursts. Now, a surge in unresolved paperwork and unusual sleep disturbances threatens to tip the district into disarray.
Evan Vexley, a polite and perpetually tired demon, works as a clerk at Nightmare Logistics in the Netherhood. Between processing dread quotas and dodging eldritch visitors, he navigates shift-changing streets, meddlesome fairy-tale creatures, and his own longing for a calm companion. Will he find peace in a district built on magnificent disorder?

A sprawling maze of desks covered in glowing paperwork. Clerks shuffle between filing cabinets that hum with dread energy. A giant corkboard maps dream routes, and the air smells of burnt coffee and old parchment.
A crumbling mid-rise where the lights flicker and doors misalign. Hallways stretch unexpectedly, smells of curry and ozone mingle. A persistent glowing ring stain decorates Evan's kitchen counter.
A cozy dive bar whose faulty sign re-spells its name hourly. Inside, lantern-sprites drift, drinks glow in wild colors, and patrons keep a corner seat saved for Evan. The jukebox plays songs from impossible decades.
A grand, dusty archive where every deceased entity in the Netherhood is catalogued. Tall ladders slide along towering shelves filled with bone-etched files. Grimwald keeps the ledgers with dry efficiency.
A pocket-sized swamp behind a laundromat. Mirelda's rickety hut stands on stilts among glowing cattails. Frog creatures tend herb beds while steam rises from a bubbling cauldron. Smells of damp earth and mint.
A moonlit clearing where Faria, a werewolf, keeps a tidy den. The trees hum softly, and the grass is always slightly trampled. A small shed holds her gardening tools and countless brushes for fur.
A chaotic office festooned with jars of shimmering teeth, maps of human bedrooms, and confiscated dream tools. The Tooth Fairy zips between desks leaving sparkle trails and unpaid citations.
A warehouse of half-painted eggs, crushed baskets, and mysterious springs. The Easter Bunny claims it's 'under construction.' Everything is loudly pink or violently pastel. Couch springs are a recurring motif.
A plaza where entities that break the shape of space gather to trade impossible goods. Cobblestones shift underfoot. Nyarlathotep often holds court by the fountain, sipping something glowing.
A quiet park where memories are sold as drinks. Trees whisper forgotten moments. Benches are always damp, and a small kiosk serves cups of nostalgia. Many residents come here to forget or to mourn.
Evan's quiet night at Nightmare Logistics is shattered when a stack of glowing forms spontaneously combusts, and Bogrot insists it's a 'quota audit from the higher-ups.' The office descends into chaos as filing cabinets start humming out of tune. Evan must navigate the mess, soothe frazzled coworkers, and uncover a pattern in the misfiled dreams that hints at something deeper.
Word spreads that Nyarlathotep is hosting an interdimensional potluck, and somehow Evan's name is on the catering list. Between fetching impossible ingredients from Mirelda's swamp, borrowing tableware from Cthulhu's collection, and calming the Tooth Fairy's sparkle-induced frenzy, Evan starts to realize the Netherhood's chaos might actually need him. But a strange, persistent hum from the Bone Registry hints at a missing soul file that could unr
The missing soul file from the Bone Registry turns out to be linked to a series of 'accidental' memory erasures at Memory Park. Plim is unusually quiet, and Evan suspects foul play. As he digs deeper, he uncovers a plot by a rogue Tooth Collective member to harvest dream-essence for a forbidden ritual. Evan must rally his friends—Mirelda, Faria, even the Easter Bunny—to confront the culprit before the Netherhood's memories are drained for good.
At the heart of Memory Park, the rogue Tooth Fairy has set up a massive dream-drain device, siphoning the park's nostalgic mists into a swirling vortex. Evan faces the culprit, who reveals they're trying to 'fix' the Netherhood by erasing all the painful memories—but that would destroy what makes it home. With his friends at his back and his newfound confidence, Evan must talk the fairy down or fight through the chaos to smash the device.
