Synopsis
[Free Instant Play · All Endings Unlocked] On Ghost Festival night, your late-night rideshare enters a mountain tunnel. At 04:44 AM, your phone is auto-added to “Tunnel 444 Carpool Group” with three blood-red rules: (1) Only 3 living humans are in the car, but 5 accounts are typing; (2) Never play a voice note titled “We’ve arrived”; (3) Reject any digital red packet from the driver within 10 seconds—and when you open the front passenger’s social feed, his post from three days ago is his own black-and-white funeral portrait!
