The plot is based on the Teke-Teke legend: a girl who was run over by a train, appears in homes located near the railway, and terrifies (and more) the inhabitants. She's called "Teke-Teke" because of the sound she makes as she crawls towards you on the floor, lacking the lower half of her body.

Speaking of horrors, it's impossible not to mention the most legendary character of any scary story — Slenderman or the Thin Man. Based on the comic about this humanoid, the game's plot leads you across a map scattered with eight notes. You must find all the pages without catching the eye of Slenderman or whatever it is he sees with, as this character has no eyes per se.

Here, you can't remain calm — the game literally forces players to run, checking each room and shaking with fear of being noticed, killed, or abducted, as no one knows what happened to the people taken by the Thin Man. The game can also be played with friends, preferably with headphones — for full immersion.

You can also look forward to fascinating research opportunities that allow the player to climb the career ladder, namely, to increase rank and unlock new locations. However, many users agree that this game is creepy and can be quite frightening because the atmosphere of this horror is genuinely eerie. Don't expect a friendly wave from the Little Mermaid Ariel; more likely, something terrifying will suddenly peer through the porthole of the submarine.

Then you and the others will be placed in a room, and someone will ask for help. You'll need to survive several nights and not die.
