A weeklong luxury cruise. Crystal-clear waters. Palm trees. Smiles. But beneath the surface of the Orchid Dream, something is waiting. When a family boards a ship that feels too quiet, too clean, and too perfect — subtle anomalies unravel into full-blown terror. Passengers vanish. Staff hum melodies that no one taught them. And below Deck 3, the morgue begins to fill… with no bodies in sight. They boarded as guests. They'll leave as something else.

Listen if you dare — Manifest has been updated.

🍔 Burger Galaxy

In the mid-90s, five off-brand fast food joints called Burger Galaxy opened across the Midwest. Their mascot was a purple alien named Zorp. Their ball pits looked like meteor craters. And one by one, they vanished — no closure, no warning.

In 2011, three teens broke into the last surviving location on a dare. Only one made it out. And what she remembers… never made it to the police report.

Strap in for flickering lights, hollow fiberglass stares, and something still moving behind the service counter.

They said it closed for safety reasons. That the animatronics were too old. Too broken. But Kara remembers something different — something the cameras never caught.

When she returns to the ruins of The Mechanical Zoo, she finds the enclosures still intact, the warning signs untouched… and the animals very much awake.

Because the zoo never stopped running. It simply ran out of guests.

Enter the cages. But don’t make a sound. They remember you.
