A Descent into Madness Style: Dark, photorealistic with a touch of abstract grot

A Descent into Madness Style: Dark, photorealistic with a touch of abstract grotesquerie. Subject: A lone explorer descends a rickety wooden staircase into a pitch-black abyss. The only light source is a flickering oil lamp in their trembling hand, casting grotesque shadows that writhe and morph on the damp stone walls. Details: As the explorer descends, their reflection in the oil lamp distorts and warps, revealing a monstrous visage with elongated limbs and a gaping maw. In the background, barely visible in the darkness, unsettling whispers seem to emanate from the walls, taking the form of disembodied mouths with razor-sharp teeth. Claws reach out from the darkness, grasping at the edges of the staircase, just out of reach of the explorer. Mood: Evoke a sense of claustrophobia, isolation, and crushing dread. Optional elements: Have tendrils of darkness coil around the explorer's legs, hindering their descent. Include a single, glowing red eye peeking out from the darkness at the bottom of the stairs, hinting at a greater evil lurking below.
