The Pit House: The Only Way Out Was Supposed to Be Up

In the depths of a ruined industrial world, society clings to survival inside “The Pit” — a vertical shaft where the deeper you go, the less human the world becomes. Ilya Mora, a mid-tier technician with a fractured past, never believed in salvation. But when garbled radio signals claim her long-lost partner is alive below the lowest level, she joins a second team sent to investigate the tunnel beneath Floor Zero.

The first team never came back.

What begins as a search and rescue turns into something far more unnerving. The deeper they go, the more the tunnel defies logic — architecture that shifts, memories that don’t align, and voices that sound like hers when no one is speaking. The others are changing. Or maybe Ilya is.

Each corridor unearths fragments of forgotten missions, fractured timelines, and impossible versions of herself. Trapped between identity, memory, and mirrored realities, Ilya must uncover not just what happened to the first crew… but who came back pretending to be them.

Because in The Pit, not every version of you is yours.

And some never leave.

What if the only way out was remembering what you chose to forget?
