The 100 candles game. A scary game where a group of friends sits in a circle of candles, taking turns at telling ghost stories to each other. Each person takes one candle, tells a story and goes to the next room, alone. The person then stands in front of a mirror in pitch dark and blows out a candle. If you're lucky, you won't see anything. If not... Well, you get the idea!
There is a catch, however... The more candles get blown out, and the more stories are told, your chances of experiencing something macabre grow higher and higher. The game ends once all 100 candles are blown out.
When Erica, a beautiful goth girl that you've had a crush on for a long time, invited you to play this game, you couldn't say no! One mischievous smile from her was enough to convince you to come to an abandoned old house outside of town. You meet her and her friends there at midnight. Mike, a quarterback, Jessica, his cheerleader girlfriend, Erica... and you.
Nervous, but also excited, you set everything up and start playing the game. Erica starts first, with a scary story of her own. Then comes Mike, then Jessica...
And now, it's your turn...
So far, so good! Nothing strange or macabre happened... yet.
