The protagonist’s obsession grows, fueled by whispers that echo through the cracks. She becomes both detective and victim, chasing elusive truths while the room breathes secrets. 
    “The Yellow Wallpaper” beckons you to peer beyond its surface, to question what lies beneath. Beware, for once you step into its faded embrace, there’s no turning back.

    Demons run homeless shelters?! 
    Rose is a sweet little angel. She loves rescuing kittens out of trees and helping old ladies cross the street. But she has a deep, dark secret that haunts her at night: Rose is absolutely terrified of demons. They killed her little sister. 
    Rose avoids demons like the plague. However, Jesus sends Rose on an undercover mission to Blackburn Charities. She is supposed to pose as a homeless woman. Jesus won’t tell her why. She reasons that helping the poor has nothing to do with demons, right? Right? 
    Wrong. Rose soon learns that demons are not just involved in the charity work, they control the whole organization! But why would demons help people? Are demons not so bad after all? 
    Rose is convinced something is off. Very off. The secret passages arouse her suspicions even more. The screams echoing from the basements confirm them. The more she investigates, the more she realizes that the charity is a clever front for the nightmares that lurk beneath it. 
    Demonic drones patrol the whole facility. The charity staff is full of monsters in disguise who watch her every move. The CEO is the most horrifying creature of all. Can Rose snatch the helpless humans from the demons’ claws before it’s too late?
