Andie Balenger, Opinion Editor • September 12, 2022

After an afternoon spent partying, the group decides to play a childhood game where one of the players is a “murderer” and has to take out all participants before they are ousted. However, after tension between the friend group rises and the power goes out, the party game suddenly becomes their reality.
