Patrick opened the front door, which had been unlocked for quite some time, and the trio went inside. They noticed that everything was dark, so they took out their phones to provide light.

"Where do we go?" asked Patrick.

"I don't know," replied Xavier.

"Maybe we should set up shop first," said Patrick. "I see a room on the right. Let's go in."

The room happened to be a former guest room. Patrick and the others took out the contents of their suitcases and laid them on the ground. Zoe spoke for the first time since the trio met up as they spread everything out, including their sleeping bags.

"You know what's funny? A few years ago, nobody really cared about this town. This town flew under everybody's radar, and then this house came along and changed everything. Now, we're spending a night in it. How crazy is that?"

"Yeah... you have a point," remarked Xavier. "All this for 100 bucks."

A minute passed, and Patrick asked, "So, what do we do first?"

"We could always explore the place," suggested Zoe. "I've been obsessed with this place for a long time now." Once Zoe set her mind on something, it became difficult to forget about it.

"How? There's nothing inside except us weirdos," said Patrick.

"We might as well," Xavier explained. "It'll kill some time. However, we're looking around together. I'm not takin' any chances."

They then exited the guest room. Just as they did so, Zoe's phone vibrated. She checked it and saw a new e-mail message.

"Hang on, you guys. Let me check something." Zoe looked at her phone and saw a single new message.

The e-mail, which came from an anonymous sender, read:

Stop right where you are.

"Stop right where you are," Zoe read aloud. "...What?!" She had a shocked look on her face.

Before you go any further, download this game.

Zoe saw a link below. When she clicked on it, it led right to the App Store.

"The fuck is going on?" Patrick asked, perplexed.
