Young Thomas has just moved into a new house with a dark past. He finds a cassette player—with a tape left inside—and a flashlight. As darkness falls, Thomas soon realises he is not alone within the room. Use your flashlight to ward off the Boogeyman, it seems to be the only thing it fears. There are five ways into your room: the door, closet, window, air vent, and sides of the bed. Watch them carefully…
Room 202 (FREE – Rift)
“Let’s try this again, Mackenzie. We’re sick and tired of your lip. You’re not gonna talk your way out of this. So we’ve made this simple. We’re going to ask you questions. And you’re going to reply by nodding yes or no. Get it?” Your hands are cuffed. Your mouth is gagged.
