Rule #1: The door opens at 3:04 AM. Exit before 3:50 AM, or you become part of 1984. Rule #2: You may carry only one item out per night. Everything inside has a price. Rule #3: If Room 404 appears on your own bedroom door... do not attempt to leave. ​Crushed by university tuition and facing imminent homelessness, engineering student Julian thinks he found an impossible deal: Studio 403 in the historic, decaying Sterling Manor for a fraction of market rent. ​The building has only one flaw—according to official city blueprints, Room 404 was demolished forty years ago following an unsolved massacre. ​Except Room 404 was never destroyed. It shifts. ​At 3:04 AM on his first night, Julian investigates a rhythmic tapping in the hallway and finds a heavy oak door where a blank brick wall stood hours prior. Inside lies a frozen pocket of 1984: an unfinished diary, a spinning record player, and the lingering traces of a student who vanished decades ago. ​When Julian retrieves an old brass key from the phantom room, he realizes objects taken from inside possess supernatural utility in the waking world. But Sterling Manor’s landlord and a shadowy occult syndicate have been searching for Room 404 for forty years—and Julian’s interference just put him on their hit list. ​Armed with an analytical mind, strict rules, and an evolving arsenal of paranormal relics, Julian must solve the 1984 murder mystery before the shifting room consumes Sterling Manor floor by floor.

2053—The year of Global Famine. The government of UNC locked 81% of the population inside their homes and left them to starve. Officially it was "resource management," but in reality, the rich had sealed the poor and average while keeping themselves free with the last remaining food. Oscar Kingston was one of the locked-up majority, expected to rot quietly in his apartment with the little provisions he had. But he was going to dig himself out of the locked apart. While digging beneath the house he found a large sealed box. Inside was the entire outside world in miniature—every city, every starving street, every collapsing government. Everything happening beyond his walls was happening inside the box. Realizing this, Oscar decided to become God. When the people outside cried for water, Oscar dipped a plastic cap of a Coca-Cola bottle into his last reservoir and dropped it into the center of the miniature world. In the real world, the grounds of the country shook violently. A massive water tank the size of a city block suddenly dropped from heaven in the middle of the dying country. When they cried for rice, he placed one boiled grain of rice on the surface. In reality, the earth buckled again. A hundred-foot mountain of rice crashed down from the sky—enough to feed the entire nation for a month. The survivors fell to their knees in the dust: “What God is doing this? Can you hear us?” “God, what is your name?” “God, how do we worship you?” In the dark of his ruined apartment, Oscar smiled. He would tell them to gather every scrap of gold, food, clothes and every remaining bill they still possessed… and leave it all at Apartment 101, Swamp Estate. That was his address!
