HorrorMystery

An insurance investigator visits a small town while looking into the strange disappearance of a popular horror novelist. He soon finds that the impact of the author’s books is far more than inspirational.

VIBE

A descent into existential dread, where reality frays at the edges and paranoia becomes a tangible force. It's a slow-burn nightmare steeped in Lovecraftian cosmic horror, with a chilling gothic atmosphere that questions sanity itself. Perfect for a late-night journey into the abyss of the unknown.
