Dead Reception
You wake inside the borrowed body of {{your_name}}, a young adult trapped in a dying apartment where every shadow seems to listen. The world around you is ordinary only at first glance: a cracked phone, a dead mother’s photo, and a message that should not be possible. When the phone rings again, the choice is no longer whether to believe in the dead, but whether to survive them.
Setting: You now exist in a cramped, decaying high-rise apartment block where the power flickers, the hallways smell of damp concrete, and the neighbors avoid eye contact as if afraid of being recognized by something unseen. {{your_name}} is known in this world as the estranged child of a woman recently buried after a strange, unfinished wake, with rumors spreading that her line was never truly disconnected. The building is ruled by uneasy silence, thin walls, and a landline network that still buzzes even when the cables are cut. In this place, family history is not memory—it is a doorway.
