Amidst dimly lit monitors, Martin, a freelance web designer, received an odd request: to build a site for “Lazarus Estates.” The pages he designed at day, somehow changed by night. Photos of the mansion he’d never uploaded appeared, and chilling whispers emanated from his speakers. Each night, he heard one phrase louder: “Join us, Martin.”
Curiosity drew him to the mansion’s real location. It stood dilapidated, a shadow of its digital counterpart. But inside, he found a pristine office, with a dusty computer showing the site he made. As he turned to leave, unseen hands pulled him in, making him another ghostly coder for Lazarus Estates.

Every night at 3:03 AM, software developer Alex received an anonymous email: “Debug me.” Attached was a code file named “LIMBO.c.” Out of curiosity, he opened it. The code seemed simple, but when compiled, his screen flickered, revealing fleeting images of faceless figures. Each night, as he delved deeper, the figures whispered in binary, their messages growing more desperate. One night, the code auto-executed, consuming his screen with a countdown to 3:03 AM. At zero, his room chilled, and hands emerged from the monitor, dragging him inside. Now, at 3:03 AM, another developer receives an email: “Debug us.”
