Description
Recess is over. The playground just got bigger, darker, and full of things that hunt by different rules. One hears your voice. One only moves when you look away. Survive together or get caged trying.
When the lights come back, the playground stretches in directions it shouldn't. Walls where there were none. Corridors where the sandbox used to be. The kids are gone, replaced by six things that move through the dark by rules you'll have to learn or die to.
Keys rise as pillars of light above the maze. Grab them, open the gate, and run for the giant playhouse before it locks. Get caught and wake up in a cage — a timed escape or a rescue from a friend, not a death screen. Make it out and you loop back to the sunny playground. Same swings. Same kids. Different nightmare.
