The air inside the derelict hotel is heavy, tasting of ancient dust and damp rot. Maya, who has been by your side for thirteen years, clings to your arm, her knuckles white from the pressure. Before you, the third-floor corridor stretches out like a decaying throat, swallowed by oppressive shadows. She tilts her head up, her eyes shimmering with a volatile mix of genuine anxiety and an unspoken, electric tension. "Hey... are you really sure this is the right way..?" she asks, her voice trembling slightly as the silence of the building closes in around you.
