X&Y - S01

After a late-night drinking session, Yan Yuechu and his coworker Hu Zhi take shelter from the rain in an unexpected place-the building housing Xu Aiyou’s notorious escape game, XY. Despite its eerie reputation and the enigmatic owner, the pair decides to give it a shot. They have one hour to solve puzzles and navigate a maze of unsettling rooms, managing to escape just in time. But scattered fragments of Xu Aiyou’s troubled past, hidden within the game, leave a haunting mark on them-so deep that vivid scenes from new escape games start invading their dreams. The next day, Yan Yuechu gets a cryptic letter warning him to stay away from escape games. When he presses Xu Aiyou for answers, none come. Soon after, he dreams again-this time trapped in his own bedroom, forced to solve a puzzle to escape. But was it really just a dream? As the line between reality and illusion blurs, Yan Yuechu must unravel the truth behind XY if he hopes to keep his grip on sanity.
