Lover's Knot

A game this psychologically tormenting could only be made by someone equally tormented, and that's exactly what was standing before Salem when he first awoke in that barred cell, in a lonely cabin, locked away in a twisted escape room in the middle of nowhere with only that tortured soul as company. Forced into a twisted death game to save his life, Salem must gamble smart and effectively to defeat his infatuated kidnapper in her own game or die trying as the perfect specimen for Pasithea's hypothesis and search for the one true fear.

These two are more alike than they could ever imagine, and equally more different - And the two of them will grapple with what that means and how it affects them constantly, as their game twists into their own heads, until reality is indistinguishable from dream and they navigate shared hallucinations and mutual nightmares.
