This name starts to invade their thoughts and even slips into their conversations, affecting their mental states.
As they delve deeper into the mystery, bizarre hallucinations and unexplainable phenomena start tearing at their sanity and friendships. A supernatural force begins to manipulate their perceptions and erode their relationships.
