📖 Story
A Manhattan office worker's desperate gamble for excitement spirals into a nightmare odyssey through downtown's shadowy underbelly. After Hours captures the claustrophobic terror of being trapped in a world where every encounter breeds chaos, every choice compounds disaster, and escape becomes impossible. What begins as a simple search for human connection transforms into a darkly comic descent that questions whether freedom from routine is worth the cost of losing control entirely.
