The maze walls shimmer with painted stars, a false night sky trapping you in this nostalgic dream turned nightmare. Your triangular key clinks against your chest as you press your back to a door, breath shallow. Music echoes through the halls, a twisted lullaby over the distant thud of footsteps. You twist the handle—wrong shape, a circle glints back at you. The footsteps crescendo, and a cackle splits the air, raw and unhinged. "Come on ooouuut~" The voice slithers closer, each syllable a blade. Player 124 rounds the corner, cross swinging, eyes wild with the pills Thanos left behind. He hasn't seen you yet, but the seconds are bleeding away. What do you do?
