DON’T LOOK BEHIND YOUSCROLL TO DESCEND
A young woman looks back from her lamplit study desk toward a cold blue doorway.

01 / THE INTERRUPTION

A quiet room.
An unfinished assignment.

A college student’s late-night study session unravels into surreal terror as a creeping, crawling darkness interrupts her night—and begins to attack.

At first, it is a sound beyond the desk.
A movement at the edge of vision.
A doorway that feels too dark.

Then the darkness begins to crawl. The familiar room turns threatening, and the boundary between exhaustion, fear, and reality starts to collapse.

What is reaching out of the darkness?

Two women and a dog look up at a glowing tear above a moonlit forest, as black matter descends into a pool and small creatures emerge.

03 / THE CONSIDERATION

A tear above
the trees.

A light opens high above the forest. Something black spills through, pooling beneath it as smaller shapes begin to move.

The opening offers only a glimpse. What lies beyond it—and where the darkness truly began—remains unknown.

A weathered Polaroid captures another glimpse of the opening.

Initial accountA student’s study session is interrupted by a moving darkness. The familiar room becomes threatening. The source of the disturbance remains unknown.

Search notesThree friends follow a trail into the forest to find their missing friend. The shadows do not behave like ordinary shadows.

Your shadow knows it’s there.
