In a world plunged into chaos, where the boundaries between nightmares and reality blur, "Only V" follows the harrowing journey of a group of college students trapped in a nightmarish scenario they can barely comprehend. The story begins innocuously enough, with the daily struggles of university life and the camaraderie shared among friends. However, when a series of inexplicable events shatter their mundane routines, Ishank, Ishan, Pratyush, Akash, and Anirudh find themselves thrust into a terrifying ordeal that tests the limits of their courage, loyalty, and sanity. As they navigate through a world overrun by mysterious creatures and shadowy threats, the group must confront their deepest fears and unravel the sinister secrets hidden within their own memories. With each passing moment, trust becomes a fragile commodity, as alliances shift and betrayals loom ominously on the horizon. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, the group finds unlikely allies that offer a glimmer of hope in the darkness. But as the lines between friend and foe blur, they soon realize that survival demands more than just physical strength-it requires resilience, ingenuity, and the courage to confront the darkest corners of their souls. "Only V" is a gripping tale of survival, friendship, and betrayal, where every decision carries life-or-death consequences, and the true test of character lies in the flickering flames of trust amidst the encroaching shadows of despair. Can they trust each other enough to survive, or will their deepest fears consume them from within?
