The cut scene is set at the beginning of a horror game taking place in a mental hospital. It features two characters, Charles and Fred, who are investigating something strange they noticed on security footage. They search the basement storage room and find an unknown person, who then attacks them, ending the cut scene on a cliffhanger. The cut scene will include dialogue between the two characters with background noises and eerie music to set the tone. Sound effects will be recorded using foley techniques while voices will be studio recorded for best quality.
