In the mundane grind of everyday existence, Tyler has always yearned for a spark-something, anything, to shatter the monotony of his colorless life. But when fate intervenes, it doesn't offer adventure; it thrusts him into a merciless battle for survival, forcing him to fight for a reality he never imagined, let alone desired.
Like so many others trapped in this horror, Tyler initially dismisses it as a vivid nightmare. "Just a dream," they whisper to themselves in the dark. Die, and you'll wake up, safe in your bed, the terror fading with the dawn. But oh, how cruelly mistaken they are. This is no fleeting illusion-it's a waking hell from which there's no escape, where death is final, and the stakes are eternally real.
Every night, as the world slips into slumber, the veil between realms tears open. Eyes close, and souls are yanked into a labyrinthine escape room-a twisted arena of shadows and secrets, where the air hangs heavy with dread and the walls pulse with unseen malice. The objective seems deceptively simple: hunt down four or five elusive keys scattered amid booby-trapped corridors, or unravel a riddle so fiendishly complex it mocks the limits of human ingenuity. Sounds like a thrilling game night, doesn't it? Think again. This is no ordinary puzzle; it's a sadistic gauntlet where failure means agony beyond comprehension-sliced by razor-sharp traps, crushed by collapsing chambers, or devoured by horrors that lurk in the flickering torchlight. One wrong move, and the screams echo forever.
Tyler isn't alone in this abyss. Joined by his closest friends-fierce and resourceful Isabella, quick-witted Darlla, and steadfast James-they form a fragile alliance against the unknown. Together, they navigate the ever-shifting nightmares, forging bonds tested by lust, betrayal, fear, and the relentless ticking clock.
In this pulse-pounding thriller, survival isn't just a game-it's the only way home.

Don't open a scam email, or risk being trapped of what it put you in, and there's no way of escape...
But how much would you go by saving a friend, just by clicking a mysterious link sent to you?
-
Gabriel was a normal kid about; lovable, kind, funny, but something happened to him a night. A scam email lured him into a trap and now everyone thinks it was a suicide the way his forehead was cut in a faded, straight line, him lying on his bed, no movement, and a knife that appeared randomly on the bedroom bed next to him when Mother came to wake him up for the morning.
But after a month rolls around, Alison still thinks the whole situation was a bit odd; Gabe could and would never do that to himself. She would know, considering their friendship since fourth grade. It just didn't make sense to her. But then again, people are good at hiding feelings when you least expect it...
She and Tiger make up a plan ---- them being the detectives --- to find out what exactly happened to their friend, but it all goes downhill when the plan... means them getting lured to their worst nightmares and fears, and in the same way Gabriel gets trapped in the mysterious Three Door Curse...
And now they've got the detectives involved...
But what if the villain also knows the victim's lie?
