Synopsis

Will lies in bed, depressed, listening to voice notes from his older brother, Miles. Eventually he finds the motivation to get up and meet him at a party. On arrival, the house is completely deserted.
Will nervously explores the run-down house, in search for his brother. Upstairs, he finds a grand room crammed with people, hypnotically listening to Miles play a piano. Relieved, Will pushes his way through, but before he can reach his brother, the crowd erupts into chaos, submerging them both under a pile of bodies.
Will desperately fights to save Miles, but is paralysed by the weight above him. He is eventually forced through the floorboards and into a dark void, where an unimaginable horror awaits him.
