The Apartment of Silence

What if the silence you craved was listening back?

Léo is running from his past. He flees the deafening noise of Paris for a new life of peace and quiet in the historic city of Toulouse. The apartment he finds seems perfect—a charming, spacious flat in an old building at an unbelievably low price. And it is utterly, completely silent.

But this is not a peaceful silence. It's a heavy, watchful presence that suffocates all sound. From his first night, Léo feels he is not alone. A cryptic warning from a mysterious neighbor and the discovery of a desperate diary left by a previous tenant reveal the horrifying truth: the silence in this apartment is a predator. It feeds on regret, learning its victims' darkest secrets and whispering them back until they lose their minds.

Trapped by a force that uses his own memories as a weapon, Léo must confront the devastating truth he fled from. Is the haunting real, or is he simply facing the ghosts of his own conscience? To survive, he must win a war not against a ghost, but against himself.
