Summary
Santos, a struggling transcriber, agrees to work for Edric, a YouTuber who researches occult games, after Edric offers high pay and a vintage typewriter. Santos transcribes cassette tapes of Edric playing a supernatural hide-and-seek game called "Looky Looky," during which an entity attacks the recording equipment. The episode culminates in a terrifying realization that the supernatural threat has crossed over to Santos, who hears the entity's voice and sees the physical damage on the tapes firsthand.
