You find yourself in two haunting locations that seem ordinary at first but quickly spiral into unsettling experiences. In the first, you're at your home, but something feels wrong. The familiar surroundings begin to shift, and distant angelic sounds echo through the air. As the eerie atmosphere thickens, you realize you’re not alone, and you must survive until your taxi arrives to take you away. The second location is the taxi you’ve just ordered, but there’s one catch – it’s a shared ride. What was meant to be a quick escape turns into a terrifying journey as you notice the weird passengers. They don’t speak. They only stare at you from the corners of your eyes, and the silence in the car feels suffocating. To make things worse, you receive a call from an old friend with some ‘news’ she just can’t wait to share. Can you survive and reach your destination?

Verdict
