    "description": "If you hear the melody, you're as good as dead.\nWhen Steve's grandmother dies, one of the only things she leaves him with is her ornate music box. Mere days after bringing the box home and playing its music, Steve's life turns upside down. Nightmares plague him, footsteps echo in his apartment at night, voices sing from his living room only to go mute the moment he enters, and the music box mysteriously disappears and appears in different places.\n\nNo matter what Steve tries, he cannot get rid of the music box. The melody is constantly in his head, driving him to the brink of insanity with each passing day. Playing the music box was a trap - the same one his grandmother had fallen into years ago.\n\nCan Steve find a way to stop the malicious object from destroying his life before his sanity is completely drained?",
