The Escape Room

The confined, high-stakes environment creates so much tension — I wonder if the author drew from real escape rooms or their own fears to craft this story.

The way trust erodes so quickly made me uneasy, but also made me think about how fragile our perceptions of others can be in high-stress situations.

It felt like a fine line between suspense and terror — I’m curious if the pacing was intentional to build up gradually or if it evolved during writing.
