In Project Rehearsal, nothing unfolds by accident. Each face, each word, each moment-arranged with precision. The town is a maze, but the walls are made of time, not stone. Those who arrive here find themselves drawn into patterns they can't see, acting in scenes they don't remember choosing. Every decision feels heavy, as if it's been made before. Every ending feels inevitable. They call it Project Rehearsal. No one agrees on its purpose. Some think it's a test. Others, a punishment. But one thing is certain- someone is pulling the strings, and they will not stop until the performance is perfect. ͎͕̦ͫ̊̊ͨ͑I̗n͎̦̜̻͈͊͒̀ͣ̇̋ͨk͈̲̲̦͚̙̂̋̍̌e͕̬͔̤̔͛͌̽͒̓̇d̼̪̫̙̔ͬ̅b̖̰̮͇͉̬͊͗ͬ̆ͫ̈́͋̉ͅy̬̣̝͉͉͖͔ͦ̇͊̔̉K̮͈̤̭͎̜̟͙͕̽̈́̌̋̎̄̆i͙̗͓̖͗ͬͩ̊m̩͈͕ Date Started: August 16, 2025 Date Finished: September 1, 2025

One summer night bound them together. One secret chained them in silence. Eight friends swore never to speak of what happened in the dark. As trust fractures and paranoia spreads, the line between friend and enemy blurs. Each of them is hiding something. Each of them has a reason to lie. And in the end... not all of them will make it out alive. ͎͕̦ͫ̊̊ͨ͑I̗n͎̦̜̻͈͊͒̀ͣ̇̋ͨk͈̲̲̦͚̙̂̋̍̌e͕̬͔̤̔͛͌̽͒̓̇d̼̪̫̙̔ͬ̅b̖̰̮͇͉̬͊͗ͬ̆ͫ̈́͋̉ͅy̬̣̝͉͉͖͔ͦ̇͊̔̉K̮͈̤̭͎̜̟͙͕̽̈́̌̋̎̄̆i͙̗͓̖͗ͬͩ̊m̩͈͕ Date Started: September 8, 2025 Date Finished: ---
