It featured monochromatic, grainy hallways and slowed-down, distorted audio clips of interviews with infamous criminals and eerie monologues. At its inception, it was viewed as a "walking simulator" designed to evoke psychological dread. The mystery surrounding its creator, known only as "ZK," fueled its viral growth.
