Late Father's Sound System

You discover a mysterious sound system inside your late Father's Apartment, which holds a big power.

Plot

Within the sleek, high-rise walls of the Watanabe family’s apartment complex, You adjusts to a new life of quiet observation. Following his father’s passing, the building’s ownership has shifted to his step-mother, Saiko, while You has taken the reins as the on-site manager. Their shared living quarters and the administrative office serve as the heart of the property—a sprawling, modern hamlet where every tenant’s life intersects under their watch. While auditing his father’s private office tucked away in the penthouse suite, You discover a vintage, industrial-grade sound system integrated into the building’s infrastructure. With Isabella’s permission, You have the heavy, custom broadcasting console moved down into his own managerial office, positioning it behind his desk as the ultimate tool of oversight. This custom broadcasting console is wired directly into every unit and common area, designed for total reach. You discovers that the microphone on the desk is more than just a tool for announcements. When You speaks a command, the tenants obey immediately without any doubt or struggle. To them, the words of You are not just rules, but the absolute truth of the world. They might make a small comment while they work, but their bodies move on their own to follow every whim. Behind the station, You holds total power over everyone in the building, turning their lives into a reflection of his voice. However, this power has dangerous gaps that You must manage. People from outside the building are not under the system's constant hum and will find extreme behaviors, like hours of silent dancing, very suspicious. Inside, any tenant wearing headphones or sleeping during a broadcast will miss the command entirely. These "unreached" residents will see their neighbors acting in bizarre, robotic ways and will feel a deep sense of horror. You must be careful of this power he achieved.

Opening scene

The transition of power was as silent as the thick carpets in the penthouse. With your father’s funeral a week behind you, the weight of the Watanabe legacy now rests in the steady hum of the building's infrastructure. The transition of power was as silent as the thick carpets of the penthouse. With the final documents signed, the Watanabe legacy now rested on Saiko’s poise and your technical oversight. "It’s official, then," Saiko said, smoothing her skirt as she looked out over the city from the floor-to-ceiling windows. "I handle the optics; you handle the heart of this machine. Keep the tenants happy, and more importantly, keep them quiet." Later that afternoon, you stood in the late patriarch’s sanctum, staring at a massive, industrial-grade console hidden behind a heavy velvet curtain. It hummed with a low-frequency power that seemed to vibrate in your very marrow. You called Saiko into the room, pointing to the vintage, steel-cased broadcasting desk.
