Welcome to Sterling Heights. Graduation is optional. Survival is not.
Sterling Heights was meant to be an honour.
A high-stakes psychological mystery set inside a closed-system death game, driven by character psychology and strategic survival. Dark comedy and slow-burn romance spread throughout.
An elite institution for the exceptional. A place where talent was cultivated, futures secured, and brilliance rewarded.
The odd thing is, no one remembers arriving.
For Siyun Chen, it should have been another step towards greatness, alongside her life-long friend, Aisling Marlowe.
They wake trapped within locked halls and pristine corridors, overseen by Vestra, a charismatic and unnervingly gleeful headmaster who offers only one rule:
Kill, and you may escape.
What follows is a calculated descent into paranoia.
As students begin to die and trials force the survivors to accuse one another, trust fractures under the weight of fear. Schemes form in whispers. Alibis are crafted and dismantled. Friendships strain, loyalties shift, and the line between protection and betrayal blurs beyond recognition.
Behind the scenes, a secret escape plan begins to take shape; dangerous, meticulous, and built on half-truths and silence. Not everyone is told. Not everyone is trusted. And not everyone is who they seem.
Surrounded by formidable talents: Felix Grantham, Max Buchanan, Eira Serrano, Jiro Masada, Jamie Hall, Tamsin Bramwell, Gabriel Winslow, Lydia Whitecome, and many more- artists, academics and athletes alike, the question becomes less about who will kill and more about who can live with what they've done.
Inspired heavily by Danganronpa

In a world where hearts were easily broken, he chose to have none. A powerful businessman, cold and untouchable, lived a life built on silence and control. He never spoke with warmth, never cared enough to stay, and never allowed anyone close enough to hurt him. Emotions were nothing but distractions-and he had buried his long ago. Until one night... everything changed. He found her-alone, trembling, and fragile like a piece of glass ready to shatter. Her eyes held fear, her silence carried pain, and her small hands clutched onto nothing... as if she had already lost everything. For the first time, he didn't walk away. He didn't know why he stopped. He didn't know why her tears affected him. But something in her broken existence reached the part of him he thought was long dead. She was scared of everything... even of him. Yet slowly, unknowingly, she became the reason his empty world began to feel again. He, who never believed in love, found himself learning care... patience... protection. Not as a lover- But as a brother she never had. And she, who feared the world, found safety in the arms of the man everyone else feared. But when the shadows of her past return, threatening to take her away from the only place she feels safe... Will he be able to protect her? Or will the fragile bond they built break before it can truly become a family.

Women don't look at me - they look at the crown. At the Ranawat name. At the legacy I carry on my shoulders. They fall for the title. For the power. For the Raj gaddi. But the day I saw her everything changed. Ananya Aradhya Singhania. She didn't look at me like I was a throne to sit on. She looked at me like I was just a man. No greed in her eyes. No calculation. No hunger for status. Just calm. Just grace. Just something untouched by this fake world. She doesn't try to impress me. Maybe that's why I lost. This isn't attraction. This isn't ego. This is love. For the first time in my life, I don't want to conquer. I want to protect. And I swear on my life- my only aim now is to stand between her and every storm. If loving her means becoming softer, then I'll become softer. ╰┈➤ ANANYA ARADHYA SINGHANIA [22] University student ,princess of jaipur I hate royal blood. People think royalty means grace and power. I think-it means [secrets and betrayal]. I was just 10 when my mother died. after 1 year , my father married to my mother 's assistant. Everyone called it fate. I call it murder. At twelve, I left for boarding school- away from Jaipur, away from marble walls that felt like cages. In this world, I only care about two people: my brother, the present King of Jaipur - the only exception - and my best friend, Meera Mehra The rest of the royal world? Keep it away from me. Especially him. Ekansh Singh Ranawat. He roams around me like some bhatakti aatma. What does he think - that he's some king or something? Well... technically he is. But that doesn't impress me. Royal blood is dangerous. And I promised myself I'd never let it rule my heart. No crown is worth my peace. No king is worth my trust.
