Constant nightmares of flames and cries for help lead you to the apartment of Anne Penrose, who vanished after a fire. Her body was never found, and many legends have spread among the locals. The search for answers becomes disturbing when you find yourself trapped inside, compelled to burn dolls in a fireplace to escape.
