Title: The Whispers in Island

Elena, a marine archaeologist, discovers the legendary Forgotten Island, a place shrouded in mystery and rumored to be cursed.

As they uncover the remnants of an ancient civilization, Elena realizes the island harbors a dark secret tied to a forgotten deity. When night falls, the whispers turn to screams, and the island reveals its true nature. With the island sinking and shadows closing in, Elena learns that those who seek its secrets are never allowed to leave, joining the eternal chorus of lost souls.
