WHAT'S INSIDE - A full escape-room campaign across connected rooms, each with its own chain of puzzles - Striking black-and-white artwork, drawn by hand, with blood-red accents - Codes, wiring, hidden mechanisms and logic puzzles built into the rooms - A blood timer that keeps the pressure on - Stuck?
