In the desolate heart of the Arctic, some things are better left buried.
Dr. Eva Rostova, a brilliant climatologist haunted by the ghost of her lost daughter, leads a scientific expedition into the unforgiving ice fields of the Siberian shelf. Her mission: to prove a radical theory about climate change. But when a supernatural storm of impossible fury cripples their icebreaker, Eva and her team are left with a single, terrifying choice for survival: a monolithic shadow on the horizon.
It is Kolyma-7, a derelict Soviet Brutalist research station, a "closed city" that officially never existed.
Seeking refuge, they cross the threshold into a world of chilling silence and architectural madness. The concrete bleeds an oily black residue, staircases defy physics, and a low, organic hum vibrates from the very bones of the building. They are not alone. A forty-year-old logbook reveals the station's horrifying secret: "Project Zerkalo", an experiment to create a sentient fortress by fusing human minds with its concrete foundations. The project was a success—and a catastrophe.
The station is alive. Its consciousness is the fractured, lonely soul of a psychic child sacrificed to its core. And after decades of dreaming in the ice, it is awake... and it is hungry.
Kolyma-7 begins to turn their own minds against them, building personalized hells from their deepest traumas and most painful memories. As the team is hunted through shifting corridors and reality-bending rooms, they uncover the full horror of what happened in 1984. To escape, they must do more than survive the building; they must confront the ghost at its heart. But how do you kill a monster whose body is a mountain of concrete and whose mind is a labyrinth of psychic terror?
'Zerkalo' is a relentless, claustrophobic journey into a new dimension of horror, where the ghosts are not just in the machine—they *are* the machine.
