Infinite Haunting Games: The Curse of the Old Schoolhouse Lies

[Rule-Based Horror + Mystery and Puzzles + Mild Horror, Focused on Psychological Pressure Rather Than Mindless Gore, with Logic and Wits at Its Core] A sudden summons drags countless people into a series of eerie, layered instances. The instances are not trials, but parts of a vast web woven long ago. Every victory, every monster slain, every reward claimed and ability awakened seems like a means of survival, but in truth, each one quietly serves the purposes of the people pulling the strings. The protagonist bears a forbidden mark. It is both his trump card against the uncanny and the key to opening the ultimate door. Alongside his teammates, he travels through strange realms occupied by vengeful spirits, breaking formations, gathering evidence of crimes, and hunting down the organization's enforcers. His enemies think he is a vessel ripe for harvest, while the masterminds wait for him to reach the end. Everyone believes they are fighting through the instances to stay alive. Only when he tears through layer after layer of illusion does he realize the truth: clearing the instances is the trap itself. When every node has been activated and the door to the final stage slowly opens, he must shatter this carefully orchestrated scheme with his own hands, from within the cage of fate.
