The story
Colin Walker is a regular guy with a regular job: he sells toasters. But the job no longer brings him joy, his boss is a tyrannical hothead, and nothing seems right in his personal life. In his daily grind, his pet hamster Sparky and cooking are the only highlights.
On one surreal morning, Colin finds himself in an altered reality: his apartment door has vanished, his apartment has turned into a chaotic labyrinth, and unexplainable phenomena shake his worldview. A cryptic message on the bathroom mirror and a mysterious marionette in the bedroom are just the beginning of emotional challenges that instill fear and terror. New visitors constantly appear, making him question his past, present, and future.
The rooms continuously change, presenting Colin with new challenges. There is no easy way out. Colin embarks on an emotional journey through his personal past, present, and future. Many tasks and puzzles await him. He needs to confront his fears and worries and remember his dreams to find a way to freedom.
