00:00In a dark apartment, someone is constantly knocking on the door.
00:03Hana goes to check and hears the knocking and takes her gun and waits.
00:06Suddenly, the monster breaks the door and prepares to attack, but Hana quickly shoots him.
00:11Soon, more monsters appear in the apartment, and she also kills them with perfect precision.
00:16She is never afraid, even more beasts appear in the hallway and break in.
00:20Hana continues to shoot without hesitation, quickly filling the gun when she runs out of bullets.
00:25Monsters constantly come and surround her in her bed, where she suddenly asks for everything to stop.
00:31It turns out that this is a video game, and she noticed the monster with the error of the creator's notification.
00:36Before she cuts the connection, the creator asks her to join the tournament this year, but she rejects the offer because she knows she has no chance of winning.
00:43Hana works as a professional player, video gamer and tester, which does not always pay off.
00:48However, this is a perfect job for her, because she suffers from agoraphobia, which means that she is very afraid of leaving her home.
00:54That's why her doors have a lot of doors, including an electronic lock.
00:58After spending the whole day testing this virtual reality, she decides to enjoy playing Tetris on her old Game Boy.
01:05Some time later, the postman comes with a package and asks for her signature.
01:09Hana has to ask the postman to leave the package and the device in front of the door and hide, which he does after a short peeing.
01:16Then Hana opens the door enough to check and sign the device.
01:19At that moment, a girl appears in the hallway and asks why Hana is scared.
01:24She also asks to enter the apartment, which Hana rejects.
01:26The postman hears her from the stairs and asks her to hurry, so Hana takes her package and returns inside, noticing that the girl has disappeared.
01:33The interaction caused her anxiety, so Hana locks the door, which is faster than experiencing a breakdown.
01:39When she feels better, Hana calls her friend to tell her how she got an early access to the latest gaming controller and invites her to play.
01:46While waiting, Hana practices to keep her body in shape because she can't go out.
01:51In the end, her friend arrives and knows that she has to send a message to Hana instead of knocking.
01:56Hana unlocks the door and hides, allowing Yen to enter and close the door without causing a panic attack.
02:02After Yen leaves the box with the items she bought for Hana, they open the package together and find a very strange headband with the inscription Omnia, but without a compass.
02:11As Hana presses the buttons, the device automatically connects to her computer and opens its own software.
02:17Hana logs in with the number of devices and AI voices await Omnia, asking her to put a bandage on her head.
02:22When she does, the AI explains that the device can read, measure, and decode characteristic images in her brain.
02:29The images she sees on the screen are images of her possible inactivity in real time, and the device can control any other device or software, so her reaction time in games will be reduced to zero.
02:40First she has to calibrate it, then Hana starts working on exercises while Yen cooks a bunch of meals that will feed Hana for a few days.
02:47The first exercise is about typing, so Hana has to press the word that appears on the screen.
02:51She starts using her fingers normally, but in the end the machine learns how to think and the buttons are no longer needed, now Hana can type words on the screen just by thinking about them.
03:01Hana becomes so obsessed with it that she doesn't even touch the food.
03:05At that moment, the host knocks on the door, asking for money for Kiryu, so Yen has to tell him to leave because Hana didn't even hear the knock.
03:11Then Yen announces that he has to leave, Hana finally gets up from the chair to open the door, but the exercise on the screen is still filling up.
03:18When the computer switches to the second exercise, the electricity disappears a few seconds before it returns to normal.
03:24Hana returns to the calibration, which this time asks her to use the mouse.
03:27The next few hours Hana does nothing but work on the calibration of the device, which starts asking her to test other things like headphones and a microphone.
03:36Whenever she feels sleepy, she drinks a lot of energy drinks to stay awake.
03:40This causes her to show that her reaction time is slowing down and tells her to rest.
03:45Hana goes to sleep, but the device continues to read her possible pictures and the speakers start to play a lot of static sounds in the apartment.
03:52A strange vision of children, hands and birds in a cage chases Hana's dreams.
03:56When Hana wakes up, terrified, she discovers that her right blood vessel is broken.
04:00While looking in the mirror, the girl from yesterday knocks on her door and asks her to play with her because there are no other children in the building.
04:06Hana explains that she can't even share her childhood story.
04:10When she was a child, her mother didn't let her go out, so she had to learn how to play alone.
04:15That's why she became a video game lover and addicted to Tetris.
04:19She offers to play Tetris with the girl, but she doesn't answer anymore.
04:22Talking to Johan in a nostalgic way, she asks for an old box in her closet and starts looking at pictures from her childhood, crying as she remembers playing with her dad in the rain.
04:31She still has the ball from those days, and when Yen comes back, they play with it as part of the calibration of the device, because the next exercise is about reflexes and perception of depth.
04:40Yen gets bored and throws the ball on the bed, while Hana mentions the music, causing the device to play some songs over the speakers.
04:46The girls then have fun dancing together.
04:49A few moments later, the next exercise is looking for pain.
04:52Yen rejects the help and leaves.
04:54Using the tool, Hana eventually does it herself.
04:57Fortunately, a small line is enough, and that finally ends the calibration process.
05:01The AI explains that the device will continue to teach Hana to use it more.
05:05After that, Hana takes care of her wound and finally eats something before she takes a bunch of energy drinks and goes back to the computer.
05:13She starts playing the game normally, but soon stops using her hands, controlling everything with her mind, thanks to the device.
05:20As promised, her reaction time is impeccable and she easily wins every match.
05:25In the meantime, a mysterious hand grabs the ball in her bedroom and moves.
05:29Hana hears a noise and looks, but sees nothing.
05:32She continues to play for a few hours and finally decides to enter the tournament with a surprise.
05:36At that moment, the ball appears, crawling on the floor behind her, and when she is ready to pick it up, she is surprised by a sudden knock on the door.
05:43It is the host who is again looking for money for Kiryu, while Hana goes to ask him for more time, the ball sticks and clings until it disappears.
05:50The host says that she promised money many days ago, while Hana thinks it was yesterday, realizing that she has lost track of time.
05:57Hana promises that the money will arrive next week and asks for the girl who lives in the building, but the host has already left.
06:03Then Hana returns to the living room and discovers that the ball has disappeared.
06:07Some time later, Hana goes through her exercise routine, not noticing the strange spirit that appears in her room.
06:13The next time she goes there, she discovers that her mouth is bleeding even more, and she is surprised that her face has become monstrous in the mirror, but it turns out to be a nightmare.
06:21As she tries to calm down, the ball reappears in the living room.
06:25While noticing this, a strange spirit appears behind her, but I don't see him again.
06:29Worried, Hana activates her phone with her mind and calls Yen, asking him to come and apologize for his behavior.
06:35Then Hana puts her VR set and waves her hand over the ball, causing it to disappear.
06:40Doing the same, she returns it back and even transforms it into the bird she catches.
06:44The little bird flies around before it returns to the floor and sends the ball again.
06:48When Yen finally comes, Hana works on her computer to speed it up.
06:52She wants the hardware to be able to track her new speed of play and win the tournament, especially since the prize is $250,000.
06:59Hana also trusts Yen to invest money in her because her victory is almost guaranteed.
07:04Six hours later, the tournament finally begins, and Hana destroys every opponent without effort, causing Yen to take a bunch of money.
07:11Suddenly, something appears on the screen, and when Hana looks closer, her hand stretches out and tries to grab it, so Hana immediately retreats.
07:18The hand quickly disappears, and Yen is confused because she didn't see anything.
07:22Feeling too anxious, Hana asks Yen to play for her while she takes a break.
07:27After taking off the headband, she goes to the store and takes the pills to stop the coming storm.
07:32At that moment, she feels that the Serbian hand is checking under the headband to discover that a simple cut has become a terrible wound.
07:39While Hana is crying, Yen explains that she didn't win the match, but Hana still made it to the next round.
07:44She also reminds Hana that she will always be there for her, but Hana remains silent.
07:48When Hana comes out, they play a retro video game and share a story about a girl, which Yen considers strange because he doesn't know about any girl in the building.
07:56Then Hana admits that her mother also suffered from agoraphobia, so it has always been in her genes.
08:01She feels bad that she has become like her mother, and Yen offers to help her get out, but Hana doesn't give in.
08:07After Yen falls asleep, Hana plays Tetris, not noticing how the walls in her apartment are falling apart into cubes around her.
08:15The next morning, Yen notices that Hana looks tired, and Hana is not sure if she was sleeping or not.
08:21After Yen goes to work, Hana hears some noise and opens the shadow in front of the door.
08:25Suddenly, the girl speaks and Hana tells her that she will judge her for the game, but when she turns around, she discovers that the doors are open.
08:32Terrified, Hana and Snagu try to step into the hallway while hearing children laughing.
08:36Sneaking, she takes another step just to hear how the doors close behind her, so she desperately runs back and tries to open them.
08:44Somehow they are locked, and Hana has to use a key, but there is also a security chain.
08:48At that moment, the lights begin to flicker, and Du appears in the hallway screaming like a banshee.
08:53Terrified, Hana continues to knock on the door until it finally falls in and quickly locks it before it experiences a breakdown.
08:59After calming down, she calls Omnius Companion to find out if the other testers had a nosebleed, but he tells her that if the diagnostic tests were correct, then it was not a malfunction.
09:09However, they offer to take him back for repair, but Hana has to win the tournament and decides to detain him.
09:15Then Hana continues to play and reaches the top 3 on the tournament rank list.
09:19After the match, she is so tired that she falls asleep on the table and the ball falls out of her hands.
09:23Suddenly, the computer turns off and Hana takes over the room.
09:26Hana wakes up and feels around her, finding her room empty.
09:30However, when she turns around, the girl appears and says, we have always been here.
09:35At that moment, Du begins to surround the girl and screams again, causing the whole room to shake.
09:40Hana covers her ears in pain and begins to pick her up just to let her go after a few seconds.
09:45The computer turns on again and the girl and Du are gone.
09:49A few moments later, Yen comes to watch Hana win the final round and become the champion of the tournament.
09:55Hana is tired and falls asleep again on the table, but still has time to hug Yen and celebrate her victory.
10:01She has a vision of a two-year-old with bruised blood just to wake up and realize that it was a dream.
10:05Not knowing what really happened and what not, Hana calls Yen's name and does not get an answer.
10:10Then she looks at the screen and confirms that she won the tournament.
10:13Suddenly, she hears Du's voice, so she rushes to the bathroom just to find her empty.
10:18After she turns off the shower, her hand shrinks again.
10:21Hana tries to call Yen and hears the melody in her room because Yen left her phone there.
10:26Her portable computer is also there, next to the package that Hana did not bring inside.
10:31Hana's panic stops when the computer announces that the reward money has been sent.
10:35Then Hana asks the AI if the device is playing tricks on her, but the AI confirms that the device is doing just what her brain wants.
10:42While Hana is looking at the pictures of her father, Du appears near the door, but does not notice that someone is knocking on the door.
10:47It is the host who confirms that he received the payment.
10:50Hana uses the opportunity to ask for Yen, but the host says that he did not see her for a while.
10:54Then Hana eats the food that Yen left for her, but as soon as she takes the bet, she spits it out because it has a disgusting taste.
11:00When she looks a little better, she discovers that it is full of beans.
11:03After that, Hana spends many hours in front of the computer, not knowing what else to do.
11:08Du appears behind her as time passes, but disappears when Hana moves away.
11:12Her hand is back in Serbia, checking the wound just to find out that it has grown into a big disgusting thing.
11:18She finally leaves, and Hana decides to play with the ball while talking about the last year she spent with her mother.
11:24She was not allowed to go out, but she enjoyed being with her all the time.
11:27The ball continues to bounce off the wall, but when Hana fails and throws it in the room, something brings her back.
11:33Some time later, a new package arrives, and Hana takes it without hesitation about signing.
11:37Inside is the trophy of the tournament.
11:39Then she looks at the package on the table and finds a card that says when you are ready from Yen.
11:45Hana opens the box and discovers a completely new pair of shoes.
11:48While wearing them, Yen's phone starts ringing with a call from an unknown number, but Hana ignores it.
11:54Suddenly, the speakers start making static sounds and the woman's hat becomes louder and louder until they become painful to listen to.
12:01At that moment, Yen appears behind her and Hana rushes to hug her while her memory of the victory is coming back.
12:07Noticing that Yen is wet, Hana pulls herself up only to find a bruise in her hand and a painful wound on Yen's stomach.
12:14Hana rushes to pick up the phone to call for help, but when she turns around, Yen is gone.
12:19Feeling crazy, Hana falls on her knees and screams in frustration, causing the spirit of the girl to appear for a few seconds.
12:26Then Hana realizes that the device is using all her trauma to get into her head, so she takes it off.
12:30However, the device is still in her head.
12:33Hana continues to try, but every time she picks it up, it's just an illusion and the real device is still connected.
12:39Terrified, she decides that she has to run to her room to pack up, not noticing the presence of a friend nearby.
12:45Then she takes the time to concentrate and gather the strength to face her fears, just to pull her hand behind her jacket.
12:52Hana turns around and sees the body crawling as it crawls into the bathroom, so she rushes to follow it.
12:56To her surprise, she finds Yen's body crawling in the closet.
13:00She even touches it to confirm that it really caused her to experience a breakdown.
13:04Suddenly, the room changes and reveals what Hana refused to see, that it was a complete mess.
13:09Then Hana checks the rest of the apartment, finding it in the same condition.
13:12It's dirty and messy everywhere, not to mention the crawling food in the kitchen.
13:16It seems that she realized that she was in the bathroom for weeks without noticing the passage of time.
13:21In a panic, Hana finally becomes enough desperate to leave the apartment and run down the stairs before her phobia can stop her.
13:28In the end, she comes to Yen's apartment, but when the light turns on, she is back in her apartment.
13:33Hana is shocked to see her vision as Yen enters, and then the other Hana turns around and says welcome to Omnia,
13:39with the voice of Ea before she transforms into a terrible monster.
13:43Terrified, Hana runs away from the apartment while seeing how the monster is following her.
13:48Hana runs down the stairs and, with every step, one by one, the monster joins the first.
13:52In the end, Hana reaches the roof and stops running when she feels the rain on her body after years spent inside.
13:58That is a reminder of a better time and helps her calm down.
14:02She finally reaches inner peace, and when the monsters also arrive, Hana jumps.
14:06As she falls, she looks at the chirping bird passing by.
14:09The moment when her body hits the floor, Hana reappears in her apartment and sees the ghost waiting for her.
14:15Realizing that this is her mother, Hana begs her to let her go and asks why she killed Yen.
14:19Suddenly, someone knocks on the door, forcing the ghost to disappear.
14:22The police are in front of the apartment, but Hana experiences a breakdown.
14:25She does not want her mother to hurt anyone else, so she promises that she will never leave the apartment again.
14:30In the end, the police and hospital staff break through the door and find Yen's body, but Hana does not notice them,
14:35she just keeps playing Tetris on her Game Boy.
14:38When the police finally arrest her, they take off the device and Hana laughs.
14:42However, when they try to pull her out, she panics and screams,
14:46causing the apartment to shake and shake the police as the doors close.
