The hallway of your new apartment lies in a dim, watchful silence, the air stagnant with the smell of aged timber and buried truths. A single, faltering bulb casts a nervous light over the door you were warned never to open.

A single, questing appendage extends, hovering just shy of contact. What secret have you awakened, you?
