“Happy Birthday! Have fun! :D”
You thought this was just a birthday prank—a surprise orchestrated by your friends.
You wake up to find yourself locked inside your summer rental room, only for the culprits to gleefully claim responsibility for the gag: they’ve actually turned your room into a miniature escape room. As a horror movie buff, you asked for it—though your room is perhaps a bit *too* cozy for the genre; still, at least they tried.
But as you spend more time solving the puzzles, things begin to take an unsettling turn.
There is an anomalous signal dead zone within your room—something you are certain your friends had absolutely nothing to do with.
Silence creeps in, and you realize you are no longer alone. Something trapped within this attic has begun to communicate with you. The line between a birthday surprise and the supernatural starts to blur.
As you gradually unravel the mysteries of the escape room, what secrets lie hidden behind the ghost?
🎮 Features:
Narrative Twist: Experience the psychological shift from a lighthearted birthday game to a supernatural horror.
“Dead Zone”: Step into areas devoid of mobile signal to trigger supernatural events and communicate with an unwelcome guest.
Interactive Phone Interface: Your only tool for contacting friends becomes hijacked by strange text messages from another realm of existence.
🕹️ Controls:
WASD / Arrow Keys: Move character
E: Interact with objects / Advance dialogue
Mouse Left Click: Interact with the smartphone UI
Translation: Press the globe button on this interface to switch between Chinese and English translations.

It was a really neat concept, the art style was gorgeous! I started getting invested in the story. The puzzle elements felt a bit off at times though, but overall a neat experience!
I absolutely loved this game. The signal jamming setting is super interesting, and messing around with the in-game phone was a lot of fun. I actually played this during class and it literally sent chills down my spine! The art style is fantastic, and the phone UI is incredibly creative.
One small piece of feedback: it might be helpful to add an "Press E to interact" prompt. I wandered around in circles a few times before I remembered I needed to press 'E' instead of just clicking on items with my mouse.
Also, I found it pretty humorous that the character jitters/flickers when you hold Up-Left to move into the dead corners, like between the sofa and the bookshelf 😂.
Really looking forward to more stories from you guys!
If a fixed version comes out, I'll be very interested in playing again!
Overall that's a good entry as first-timers.
