Swamped

Well. There aren't that many ways to go from here. You're already approaching one of the corners. And your quarry was here recently, as far as you can tell.

So you may as well head for that corner, in case it's where they end up. It'll be faster if you double back. Not to mention this creature may have turned around to throw you off the trail, in which case you might catch signs of that along the way.

If you're wrong... well, the other way is closer to where the crew's looking.

Before long, you do find something unusual: a pair of shoes. Which does make perfect sense if she's been climbing around on the walls somehow, you suppose. It's just that you're not sure it makes sense for her to be climbing the walls.

But did she get rid of these before or after making the prints you saw? Could she have carried them for a while and then dropped them here to leave a false trail?

No. No time to worry about that. You've already made your choice and there's no benefit to second-guessing it. You keep going towards the corner.

And you spot her. She is climbing the walls. She looks the same other than her hands and feet, which are not only webbed, but a strange color.

Only, this corner isn't the dead end you thought it was. She seems to be climbing towards a strange hole in the ceiling. And she's getting there fast.

You don't have much time to act. What do you do?
