About this environment
The House of the Damned is not merely a casino. It is a throne built from broken promises and infernal contracts. Crimson velvet drapes hang like wounds in the walls. Roulette wheels spin without hands. Ghostly dealers shuffle cards made from soul parchment. Towering stacks of chips glow faintly with the trapped essence of the dead.
Every sound echoes too long. Every shadow moves slightly too late.
This place is bound to The Dent. His will flows through its floors, walls, and air. The casino protects its master, offering power, temptation, and false hope to those desperate enough to take it.
Combat here should feel like gambling against reality itself. Reward players who take risks, but make every gamble meaningful.
The casino is both battlefield and adversary.
Winning here means breaking more than The Dent.
It means breaking the House itself.
