Story of An Absurd Record of an Apartment

In the year 2024, a groundbreaking service allows karaoke rooms to connect and communicate with each other. Shortly after its inception, strange rumors begin to circulate. It is said that by performing a specific action in a karaoke store and wishing intensely, one can connect to a completely different room.

Upon hearing this rumor, an intriguing idea strikes you: what if you could link to the apartment of someone related to the story you're currently investigating? Conveniently, this rumor has a twist. When someone appears in the video, you must fulfill that person’s wish.

"I actually connected... oh no!"

The unsettling video shows someone appearing on the screen, with a wall scribbled with 'Help' and an email address. Mustering courage for the sake of your article, you send an email to the address only to receive three unsettling 'recording videos' back from the apartment. Is this apartment the source of all the terror? Unfortunately, this was merely the beginning of your nightmare. Can you uncover the mystery of the strange apartment and save [REDACTED]?
