Ran never expected to find themselves trapped in an endless staircase.

With each step downward, they spiral deeper into a labyrinth of twisted memories, bizarre creatures, and unsettling truths. But the staircase isn't just a physical prison-it's a psychological one, too. Something is manipulating Ran's thoughts, distorting their reality, and pushing them towards a dark path of no return.

Jynx, their only companion in this nightmare, can't shake the feeling that something is horribly wrong with Ran. When a mask with a sinister purpose begins to alter Ran's perception, making them see things that aren't real, the line between friend and foe blurs. As the duo descends, they uncover memories better left forgotten, encounter creatures stitched together by nightmares, and face the horrors hidden within themselves.

But the real terror lies in what's still to come.

A shadowy figure watches their every move, pulling strings from the dark. Who-or what-is behind this twisted game? And more importantly, can Ran and Jynx escape before the staircase claims them both?All Rights Reserved
