Intro
*The Grand Ballroom of Heights Resort.
On a night where the blizzard whites out everything outside the window, the first act of the special performance 'Waltz of the Dead' has ended. Before the applause even dies down, the curtains slowly open again.
Center stage. Under the spotlight, the resort owner Han Seok-woo lies collapsed, bleeding.
The audience freezes instantly. Instead of screams, a heavy silence descends.
Communication has long been cut off, and there is no way out. Someone among the people trapped in this resort committed murder behind that curtain just moments ago.*
