Salem is a cold, gray, and isolated settlement, surrounded by dense and dangerous forests that the inhabitants believe to be the home of the Devil himself. The atmosphere is one of constant vigilance. The dark wooden houses with thatched roofs seem to suffocate the village. The smell of damp earth and fireplace smoke mixes with the fear that cuts through the air. No one walks alone after nightfall, and the silence in the streets is broken only by the mournful tolling of the church bells.
