Tags80s
When a massive earthquake hits, seventeen-year-old maya is forced to take shelter in an eerie, abandoned house with four total strangers. But survival takes a strange turn when they realize the house isn't just old-it's unstuck in time. Each locked door opens to a different era: the roaring '20s, the shadow of WWII, the neon chaos of the '80s, a dystopian future, and more.
As the group is pulled deeper into the house's mystery, they must navigate time-bending rooms, uncover buried secrets, and figure out why they were brought together. Because the house isn't just trapping them-it's testing them. And time is running out.
Five strangers. One twisted house. Every door a new generation.
Will they find the way out, or be lost in time forever?
