Story

Six years ago, Andrea’s world shattered when her fiancée, Victoria, mysteriously disappeared. Since then, she has been living in the shadows of her past, unable to move forward. One day, as she sits watching TV, a phone call shatters her isolation. Victoria is back. She wants to meet. The woman who once held Andrea’s heart offers a flicker of hope for the future. But with the city drenched in heavy rain and the metro system down, Andrea, in a moment of desperation, takes an unfamiliar route through narrow backstreets.

But she is not alone. A shadow follows her, a man who appears out of nowhere and, in an instant, knocks her unconscious and kidnaps her. When Andrea awakens, she finds herself trapped in the basement of an unknown house. Fear grips her as she struggles to understand what’s happening. The man leaves, giving her a brief opportunity to escape. As she climbs to the upper floors, she is met with a horrific sight—everyone in the house has been brutally murdered. Terrified, she manages to flee the house, but her fight for survival has only just begun.

Outside, the only hope Andrea has is a deserted car she finds parked nearby. She drives off in haste, but soon the car runs out of gas, leaving her stranded in the middle of nowhere. Forced to continue on foot, she stumbles upon a distant mansion. As she approaches, a mysterious figure standing at the door silently beckons her inside. Once inside, the events that unfold will deepen her fear and set her on a path she can never turn back from.

Her journey leads her to Ebonvale, a small town where everything ties together, where all the dark events have led her. But even here, there is no safety. The town holds secrets more terrifying than Andrea could ever imagine. Her desperate quest to reunite with Victoria will uncover twisted truths, and she will find herself drawn deeper into a nightmare of unimaginable horror. The more she uncovers, the darker it becomes.

In this place, nothing is what it seems, and there is no escape from the horrors lurking in the shadows. Will Andrea survive the endless terror, or will the love she seeks lead her into an eternal nightmare? There is only one thing for certain: there is no turning back.
