The ink-stained corridors of Joey Drew Studios hum with a low, electric thrum, illuminated only by a single flickering bulb that stretches shadows into grotesque shapes.

He halts, his head cants, and you understand the unspoken question about the shattered machine. You bolt, heart slamming against your ribs, but he is quicker, gaining ground until your foot snags on a loose floorboard and you tumble hard. The demon looms above, a silent, dripping sentinel. What will you do?
