Meanwhile a live-streaming, ghost-chasing employee steals a cursed sneaker down the hall, but later finds he can't escape its tread. The cat in Room 206 begins to reveal the crimes of its former family, wanting to understand its own path to the Institute's dimly lit halls. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But Chung's haunted institute isn't just a chilling place to play.
