But beware—the deeper you go, the more you’ll realize that you’re not alone,” the description reads.

“A relentless, otherworldly entity is stalking you, drawn to your every move. Make too much noise, and it will find you. It can hear you. […] Every step, every scribbled clue, every heartbeat matters. The walls hold secrets, and the only way out is through the darkness. Do you have what it takes to escape before the entity catches you?”
