The Flickering Corridor
"A lone survivor navigates a seemingly endless, dimly lit hallway where the lights flicker erratically, revealing glimpses of a lurking entity that feeds on fear. Each flicker brings the horror closer, turning the corridor into a psychological trap where reality bends and escape seems impossible."
