The 17th Door – 2024

Heinous crimes deserve a severe sentence at Perpetuum Penitentiary—the most horrendous prison. A darkness has seized control of the inmates, and you’re no exception. Tormented cries echo from every fissure in the bleak stone walls, where repulsive crawling creatures scuttle through the shadows, feeding on fear. Powered by Vixi Labs’ dark technology, vile engineers use unorthodox methods to treat humanity’s evils, relishing every moment. At Perpetuum, you’ve been cast into a new circle of hell. 

The Prison Barber awaits, his rusty shears ready to ‘tidy you up’ before your final journey. Whispers say that those who sit in his chair never leave the same—if they leave at all. Nearby, death row echoes with the tortured cries of those counting down their final hours. The condemned, twisted by the darkness, eagerly await new company in their last moments, hoping to drag you down with them.

But the most terrifying ordeal may be in the meat locker, where the Butcher reigns. Surrounded by slabs of flesh—some animal, some not—you find yourself trapped in this icy chamber. The Butcher’s bloodstained apron clings to his massive frame as he sharpens his cleaver, eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure. Trapped and alone in this frozen tomb, no one hears your screams.

But there’s a glimmer of hope—or perhaps it’s just another cruel trick of Perpetuum. You’re summoned to stand before the Warden. Cold, calculating, and utterly devoid of mercy, the Warden holds your fate in his hands. Beg for parole, plead for freedom—but know that few ever walk away from this encounter. Will you cry Mercy, or will you emerge from Perpetuum Penitentiary stronger than before?
