34 parts Complete Eleven friends. One mansion. A game of survival.
Every year, a group of eleven friends gathers for their traditional retreat-a reunion that promises rest, adventure, and reconnection. But this year, the invitation is different.
Drawn by the promise of something more, they arrive at a forgotten mansion deep within a shadowed forest, a place that has witnessed countless secrets and dark histories. Inside, they find only a chilling message: "Only the worthy make it to dawn. Are you prepared to face your past, unravel the secrets, and survive the game?"
As the doors lock behind them, the friends are thrust into a series of deadly trials-each one more harrowing than the last. Their fears, regrets, and deepest secrets come alive in twisted rooms that test their minds, bodies, and friendships. Each trial is tailored to exploit their darkest vulnerabilities, forcing them to confront the worst parts of themselves and their shared pasts.
But as the trials grow more intense, trust begins to fracture. The line between ally and enemy blurs, and they are left to question not only the mansion's intentions but also each other's.
In this brutal game, survival is the ultimate goal-but what will they sacrifice to make it to dawn? Is escape even possible, or is the mansion itself a trap they'll never leave?
In The Circle of Shadows, nothing is as it seems. Not even the friends you've known for years.
