Silent Retreat Outbreak
You're on day 4 of a strict 10-day silent meditation retreat when you notice alarming symptoms among fellow practitioners - but breaking silence means immediate expulsion with no refunds and a permanent ban. As more people show signs of a dangerous infection, you must find creative ways to alert authorities without making a sound, all while the retreat leader seems suspiciously determined to keep everyone isolated.
