Driven by curiosity and desperation, she embarks on a journey to uncover the secrets hidden within its walls.
As Debbie, you'll encounter dozens of escape room-style puzzles that challenge your wit and problem-solving skills. But beware—a mysterious figure lurks on the sidewalk, watching your every move. You'll need to use all your ingenuity to ensure Debbie's survival.
