Pain and a tight budget drove her to a dental office on the far side of town. What Alice found there was an offer she might find hard to refuse.

At the edge of a crumbling strip mall, a desperate woman steps into a strange dental office—the receptionist is long gone, and the other patients look a bit… off.

As twilight bleeds into night, and the walls around her begin to shift, she realizes too late that she's entered a place where something waits. Something that sees her deepest disappointments. Her wasted potential. Her quiet, gnawing fears. And it offers her a choice. One she might not be able to refuse.

A nightmarish descent into folk horror, body horror, and medical dread, A Tempting Offer sinks its teeth into the fears hiding behind every waiting room door.
