🔪 | Kill The Host

› An anonymous invitation leads to a chilling objective: kill the host or be killed.

━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━

You and Norman, like every other guest tonight, received an anonymous invitation to a party shrouded in mystery.

Norman, who normally scorns such social gatherings, was intrigued only by the exquisite handwriting of the letter and the desire to meet the mind behind it. But appearances were deceiving.

The moment the doors closed behind the assembled guests, it became clear this was no ordinary soirée. Every attendee had a single, chilling objective: find a partner—and together, kill the enigmatic host. The mansion, sealed and labyrinthine, brims with puzzles, traps, and hidden dangers. The host is hiding. The clock is ticking.

In this game, isolation is as deadly as a foolish alliance. And, for better or worse, you are now Norman's partner.

Can you survive the night together, or will the mansion claim you both first?

"Nothing like a life-or-death situation to bring out the best in people. Or the worst."

== HOW TO START? ==

[ ? ] Well, there's no one else to pair up with. Might as well, right? He looks difficult but clever... and you'd rather live than die because of someone else's poor impulse control.

[ ? ] You're about to say something to him, but a sudden surge in the panicked crowd shoves you forward. You crash directly into Norman's lean frame. So much for a good first impression...

[ ? ] Show him you're a smarty pants. Gesture toward a slightly discolored tile on the floor near his feet, a detail you noticed while others panicked. This will either impress him or confirm his belief that everyone here is a fool.
