The premise, in the publisher's words

What begins as a cheerful lobby slowly reveals something far more sinister. Catchy, irritating tunes echo through empty halls. Bright colours mask unsettling truths. Every puzzle and encounter draws you closer to the truth about who you really are, and why this place still haunts you.
