Eight friends. One cursed game. No way out. After their final college exams, a group of friends travel to Kolkata to unwind in an old, abandoned mansion belonging to Lavanya's late grandfather. Hidden behind locked doors and layers of dust, they stumble upon a mysterious game-ancient, cryptic, and bound by chilling rules. What begins as a thrill quickly turns into a nightmare. Each round plays with their minds. Each move reveals a secret meant to stay buried. And the game? It's alive... watching, waiting, punishing. Now, the only way to survive is to keep playing. But in a game where the stakes are life and death-who will make it to the end?

The Beautiful Trapped Ghost (BWWM) by KassandraVivu

Liam left everything that he knew behind, his house, the neighborhood he lived in, and the city that he knew. Why? Because he needed a change. He needed a fresh start; he couldn't handle the gossips anymore, the neighbors whispering behind his back, the failed relationship that ended with a heartache for him and not his ex. He needed to be in a new area where no one knew what happened; no one knew the suffering he went through. So what does Liam do? He packs his things, sells his house, old furniture, and buys a new home in an area he's never even been in or heard of. Everything should go perfectly, right? This fresh start. Not quite, Liam has an unwanted guest in his new house, and this guest doesn't want to leave; she seems to be telling him that it's her house and not his. She's mistaken; this house was Liams. After all, he's purchased it for an excellent price and has moved all his new things in there. She's the one that needs to go, not him. So why is it that Liam is unable to kick her out of his home? Why is it that she won't leave?! or is it that she can't go. Strange things start to occur in Liam's new home, something that shouldn't be happening, spooky things, things that would happen in horror movies, and Liam doesn't know what to do. He starts to panic; he's the only one panicking; the unwanted guest, on the other hand, just stares at him with a smile as she throws her head back, letting out a chilling laugh. "We'll see who ends up leaving, because I am not going anywhere." She says.

When Yvani, Asia, and Rowan discover that their friends have gone missing, they follow a trail into Halev's massive forest, Ashwood Forest, a place everyone knows, yet hides more than trees. There, only they can see a dark, impossible car, silently stalking them as if it knows their every move. As they chase answers, the forest twists, friends vanish, and each step draws them deeper into a nightmare where nothing is what it seems. Marked by forces they don't understand, they must survive hunters, killers, and the forest itself, all while trying to save the friend who started it all. Every shadow hides a threat, every turn tests their courage, and every choice could be their last. In a world where danger watches and reality bends, survival is only the beginning.

Helen Mallory lives a quiet, guarded life with her daughter Ellie and elderly mother in a remote farmhouse. It is a fortress built against a past she refuses to remember. When a brutal storm strands three strangers at her door, Helen reluctantly offers shelter. But these men don't behave like lost travelers-they don't beg; they measure. Their smiles are cold and practiced, their glances are invasive, and their unnerving questions shatter Helen's reality. As the hours drag on, her fear transforms into a terrifying certainty: these men are predators who know exactly what they're looking for, and they've found it in Helen's home. Trapped and pushed to the breaking point, Helen must decide whether to stay silent or unleash the monstrous survival instincts she buried long ago. A tense, slow-burn psychological thriller where the true danger lies not in who the intruders are, but in what they force a mother to become.

Arthur Ellis moves to a seemingly peaceful hamlet with only five houses, expecting solitude and perhaps even peace. Instead, he gets an unsettling house across the street, odd locals, and strange things happening at night. As Arthur tries to piece together what is happening, it becomes clear that the village is hiding something - and whatever lives at number 330 isn't happy about his arrival.

A family ruined by an accident..... a girl with psychic abilities... a suspicious hospital... a frustrated mother... a dying son.... things just got a lot more mental or is it just reality?

Three friends. One abandoned village. And a truth that was never meant to be found. When Liam, Sofi, and Ahmad stumble upon a forgotten place buried in silence, the shadows begin to whisper. As paranoia rises and trust begins to crack, the line between reality and experiment starts to blur. Someone is lying. Something is watching. And not everyone will make it out alive. What if everything they knew... was never real? Welcome to Into the Abyss.

The world ended. Fire, radiation, and a new force of magic rended the world asunder. Years pass, too many to count. Now, the world has begun to heal, society putting itself back together bit-by-bit as it combats the monsters, bandits, and other dangers. Somewhere in the wastes, a new story begins to unfurl. A sheriff accused, and a goddess out of time, must brave the wastes and uncover the mysteries brewing within.
