The premise
After finally building the life he once dreamed of, a young man begins to feel suffocated by the constant effort it takes to maintain it. Exhausted and disillusioned, he starts to lose sight of why he worked so hard in the first place.. As his addiction tightens its grip, his reality begins to fracture. Without the substance, his mind spirals-distorting his perception and isolating him from the world around him. Soon, he starts seeing a dark, shadowy version of himself lurking in the distance... watching, waiting, and slowly getting closer. What begins as an escape turns into a psychological nightmare, as the figure grows impossible to ignore-an eerie manifestation of his unraveling mind, and a haunting reflection of the path he's chosen.
Horror Vault's take
A young man who seemingly has everything begins to crumble under the weight of maintaining the life he fought so hard to build. As substance dependency tightens its hold, his grip on reality starts to slip — warping his perceptions and severing his connections to the people around him. A sinister, shadowy reflection of himself begins to appear at the edges of his world, creeping ever closer. What starts as a means of escape spirals into a waking nightmare that blurs the line between addiction and something far darker.
