TEN HEARTS
Ten friends. One island. One ritualistic killer. What begins as a celebration turns into a closed system where trust erodes, secrets surface, and survival becomes a moral question.
Ten Hearts is designed as a pressure cooker: limited space, limited resources, and relationships that become weapons.
World Overview
A closed-circle slasher story about friendship, guilt, and the lies we tell to stay alive.
Ten Hearts begins as a weekend getaway — a birthday, a reunion, an excuse to escape the world for a few days.
When communication is cut and supplies begin to vanish, paranoia sets in. Someone is watching. Someone is acting. And someone may not be who they claim to be.
The killer follows a ritual tied to the group itself — their shared past, their unspoken resentments, and the quiet violence of old friendships.
