Julian's friends attempt to cheer him up one night, but they only make things worse. His best friend Miles pulls a prank, hoping to make Julian laugh, but instead, he freaks out. He runs into the forest, getting lost, but when he wakes up in a windowless hallway with sticky brown carpet and peeling yellow wallpaper, it's clear he isn't anywhere he remembers. Running from monsters with sharp teeth and creatures that lurk in the dark, the unending maze appears to be a loop. To find the end, he has to venture across different rooms with puzzles and even sacrifice something that means the most to him. Is his life worth escaping, or should he accept his fate and become one of the monsters he is running from?

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
