How do you escape when reality itself is the trap?
Aeris wakes up in a strange lodge, confused and alone. She has no memory of how she got there, and everything around her just feels... off. The walls feel like they're breathing, time moves weirdly, and the people she meets? They're just as lost as she is.
There are whispers, telling her to remember something. But what? As things start to fall apart, Aeris is left wondering: is she trying to escape... or is she meant to stay?
The Way Out is just the beginning of Aeris' journey. If you're into psychological thrillers that make you question what's real, this one's for you.
Will Aeris find the truth-or will she get stuck in the illusion?
