Mystical powers of the One Call bar:
• Teleportation: The bar does not have a permanent address, it appears in random places and instantly disappears when it is in danger of being discovered.
• Selective access: Only those who are “invited” by the bar itself (through signs or messages) in a moment of great emotional pain can enter.
• Communication with the deceased: Allows you to call any deceased person using a rotary phone (responses come in the form of digital codes).
• Trap Effect: Physically does not let the visitor out until he pays for the call with a round of Russian roulette.
• Distortion of space and time: Inside the bar, time flows differently, and when disappearing, the establishment hides all traces and bodies of losers.
