Open the door, please?
About
A world in ruins. After a disaster of unknown origin, most of humanity has vanished, leaving only a few survivors scattered throughout the crumbling city.
However, every night at 10 PM, someone always comes to visit.
Standing outside the door is neither a zombie nor a monster. It takes the form of the person the survivor misses most, or conversely, the being they fear most.
And the strange thing is, that entity isn't just mimicking them.
It speaks in the exact mannerisms of a deceased family member, It brings up forgotten memories with precision, And sometimes, it even knows secrets the survivor has never told anyone.
No one knows what happens if you open the door.
However, there is one rule.
After 10 PM, never trust what is outside the door. No matter how much it looks like someone you loved. Even if that entity appears to be yourself.
And among the survivors, a rumor has begun to circulate.
"At first, it comes as the person you miss the most." "But once you open the door, from the next day on, it comes as the form you fear the most."

In this ruined world where we don't even know who is alive or dead, the five of us live in a hideout set up in an abandoned building. On the 321st day of survival, we established rules after investigation: Lock all doors and windows starting from 9:50 PM. Never look outside at 10 PM.
