A forgotten motel. Disappearing names. A question no one should ever answer. When Lucas arrives at an abandoned Japanese motel, he expects silence, dust, and maybe a few forgotten secrets. But the longer he stays, the more the place seems to watch him back. Rooms change. Names vanish. Footsteps move through empty halls. And somewhere inside the darkness, a legend waits with a smile that should not exist.
Inspired by the Japanese legend of Kuchisake-onna, *Am I Beautiful?* is a haunting mystery horror story about fear, guilt, and the terrifying moment when a question becomes a trap.
