The Lying Game: A Deadly Game of Secrets and Betrayal

Story Description:

A group of strangers receives mysterious invitations to an isolated mansion deep within the forest. Upon arrival, they realize that their host remains unseen, and the grand estate holds eerie secrets. As they sit down for an elegant dinner, the doors lock behind them, trapping them inside. A chilling voice echoes through the room, revealing that they are part of a deadly game where survival depends on uncovering each other's darkest secrets.

With every passing hour, the tension escalates. Alliances form and shatter, trust is a fragile illusion, and every revelation brings them closer to the horrifying truth.
