The story follows a group of friends who discover a mysterious and disturbing video game called “Stay Alive.” As they play the game, they realize that it is more than just a typical horror game – it seems to be linked to a series of real-life deaths.

As the group delves deeper into the game’s mysteries, they begin to experience strange and terrifying occurrences in the real world that mirror what happens in the game. It becomes evident that the game may be cursed, and players who die in the game also die in real life.

The friends must now race against time to uncover the dark secrets behind “Stay Alive” and find a way to break the deadly curse before they become its next victims.
