Apartment 73

Dan leaves Tel Aviv with his family and moves north, to a huge three story house with dark stone walls and a red tile roof. From the first moment, something about the house and the area feels off. Too cold, too quiet, and scary for no clear reason.

On the first night, it starts. Words and whispers echo inside his head. Hands touch him. Then a note is slipped under the door, stained with blood.

Dan tries to understand what's happening, but as the days go by, it only gets worse. Figures in masks appear and vanish in the dark, following his every step. And at home, Armond, Dan's father, looks tense. He acts like he's hiding something.

Yotam and Maayan tell him about one dangerous place: "Apartment 73." Stories about it spread all over the area, and no one really seems to know the truth. But the moment Dan hears what they know, he decides to investigate on his own. And from that moment on, they're not alone anymore.

And then everything collapses. Violence and murders start popping up all over the area, and Dan feels like something is opening, like a gate to hell has been torn open. And the police? Where are they in all this. People run and die in the streets, things happen right in front of their eyes, and no one knows what's really going on. Along the way, things are revealed. Dan meets new people along the way. Can he trust them... or not.

In the middle of everything Dan is going through, and everyone with him, he's left with questions that have no answers: Why did they really move here? Who is the higher power behind the murders? What are his parents hiding from him? How many more people will die along the way? And why doesn't he recognize himself anymore?

One thing is certain: the game is starting.
