Prologue
The masquerade ball was not what it seemed. Beneath the laughter, beneath the glittering masks, there was a dark undercurrent-a game, a deadly one. No one knew it, not even Aisha, who had been swept into the mystery that night. She came in with a simple invitation, a promise of intrigue and excitement. But what lay ahead would change her life forever.
As the night deepened, the games began. And once the game started, there was no turning back. No one could leave. No one could escape.
Aisha's thoughts raced as she tried to make sense of the twisted messages, the cryptic riddles that seemed to lead her to something far more dangerous than she could ever imagine. The shadows in her life were closing in, and with every passing hour, they grew darker, more suffocating.
Her husband, Yash, had no idea what was happening. He remained a figure of warmth in her cold, distant world, and now, she found herself entangled in a game that might just cost them both everything.
The players were unknown. The rules, even more so. But one thing was certain-the game had just begun. And Aisha's choices would determine the fates of everyone involved. Would she unravel the mystery before it was too late? Or would the mask she wore for so long consume her entirely?
In the shadows, someone watched. Someone waited. And in the end, no one would leave unscathed
You never felt the need to listen to those corny internet safety PSAs. Everything felt more or less straightforward: don't talk to creeps, don't give out personal information, don't do anything stupid.

That was the case, until you met the user, "Kitty".
What once started as a blossoming online friendship, full of laughter, gifs, emoticons and love hearts, soon unravels into an unending nightmare of stalking, obsession and murder. As public concerns draw toward sightings of an obscure masked killer, you find yourself in the midst of a deadly, lovesick pursuit. Maybe you should have paid more attention to those PSAs after all...
