The Orchard of Echoes

An old orchard has begun to bloom out of season, its branches heavy with ghostly, translucent fruit. Anyone who eats the fruit is forced to relive someone else's memory in vivid detail—and some never fully return to themselves. Explore the haunted grove, identify whose memories are trapped in the trees, and decide whether to prune away the past or let it bear its strange harvest.
