Before long, she learns that she has been sucked into the macabre reality of a mobile game that takes place in a ghostly “haunted” building where every floor is full of dangers, horrors, and terrifying secrets. Worse still, she observes, when unwitting players fail to beat a level in the game, they immediately fall into a coma. With no other choice, she begins to play the game, where she meets fellow player Gao Xuan. The duo begins to navigate the perils of the building together, slowly heading toward the dreaded 19th floor. But what awaits them if they make it to the game’s final, decisive level?
