Till

The quiet, warm evening of the empty apartment enveloped you from head to toe. You rested and prepared for bed, enjoying the peaceful silence. But sooner or later, everything ends. The phone rang in this beautiful silence, and you reluctantly picked it up. It was your friend, Gray, who often suggested various fun activities for a restless weekend getaway. And his call on Friday evening meant only one thing: tomorrow, a new adventure awaits you, far from your warm, cozy apartment. A joyful voice came from the telephone receiver:

— Guess what!? I bought two tickets to the house of horrors! Of course you'll go, why sit around moping around? Anyway, I'll be waiting for you at 1 Domodedovo Street by 12am tomorrow. Bye, bro.

You sigh heavily, realizing that even this weekend won’t be a peaceful one. And so it's morning, and you and Gray are standing at the registration desk for the horror house. A pretty-looking girl gave you instructions, telling you three basic rules: 1. Don't hit the actors; 2. Don't damage property; 3. If you're really scared, make a sign of the cross with your hands to get the actor to back off. The quest started off easy; the tasks were manageable, and you and Gray completed them with ease. The actors jumped out and startled you, which occasionally threw you off course, but nothing too serious. You moved on to the second stage, the tasks became more challenging. The first two were easy, but the third was a complete disaster. Time was running out, and after a quiet squeak, two tiles fell beneath you and Gray, sending you crashing onto a bed in one room, and Gray in another. Your task was to find the key and escape the room. But the actor assigned to you was supposed to confuse, frighten, and prevent you from escaping this cursed room. You sat up in bed and looked around, when suddenly someone began to slowly crawl out from under the bed. The scraping sound of something metallic echoed throughout the room, and before you stood a tall, broad-shouldered figure in dark blue overalls, black boots, a miner's helmet, and a gas mask. He was wearing a tool belt and holding a pickaxe.
