Our story begins with a college student waking up in a mysterious Western-style mansion filled with uncanny statues, trap doors, and spooky mechanisms. To make matters worse...he can't seem to remember much of anything. The only clues he has are a shattered phone and scattered fragments of memory. As he explores the creepy building, he encounters a stunning young woman who also claims to be trapped inside the mansion and a rather austere female detective who's investigating a case. The three decide to team up, hoping to crack endless riddles and traps as they flee for their lives and search for a way out.
But that's not all... As their exploration deepens, terrifying anomalies—like floating human-head balloons and maniacal black hair—begin to emerge, driving the protagonist further into despair. And all the while, an imperceptible but ominous change appears to be quietly taking root within him. Armed only with scattered clues and fractured memories, he must face the unsettling truth that awaits at the end of this harrowing journey...
"No one must leave."
The whispers in his ear linger without end, but who is it that's calling him from the dark? The truth is out there...for you to uncover.
