Soon he follows a trail of notes, which lead him to abandoned areas in town. However, he isn't alone. Along the way he meets a variety of people who each have their own problems, all similar to David's. And at each stop he sees one familiar face... A man with an impossibly bent neck. Between avoiding him, and solving many riddles, you are sure to have a great time with The Crooked Man.

• The Sandman: A girl named Sophie Grundler suffers from insomnia. No matter what she tries, she's unable to fall asleep.

What's more, the man who let them stay is gone and they are unable to contact help. Is this the curse of the mermaid in the legend or is there something more to these events?

• Pedestal: There once was a young girl well-known by her school. Her classmates have mixed feelings for her, some hate her and some like her. One day, though, someone finds her dead in her home.

Power of the Verse

The verse doesn't have much in strength, characters outside of Strange Men are around Street level with Athletic Human or lower speed, while most characters in Strange Men reach Small Building level and Superhuman speed. However, it does make up for it in some parts with hax. Most noticeably in The Sandman with abilities such as, Dream Manipulation, Sleep Manipulation, Reality Warping, Illusion Creation, Time Stop, Wish Granting, etcetera.
