Welcome to NetEscape, a nostalgic dive into a seemingly abandoned MMO from the 90s. Once a bustling online world, NetEscape now stands as a ghost town. 

As the countdown to midnight ticks away, you have one last chance to explore this forgotten virtual realm, capture screenshots… and uncover a dark mystery that has been hidden in plain sight.

As a journalist for a gaming website, you've been tasked with writing a retrospective article on NetEscape’s final moments, you’ll navigate this deserted digital playground with a single mission: capture snapshots of key locations. 

What starts as a lighthearted quest quickly spirals into an unsettling experience as the true history of NetEscape surfaces, revealing hidden layers and a chilling story long forgotten.

Secrets Beneath the Surface
