Synopsis
After attempting a forbidden occult ritual in his apartment, an impatient aspiring warlock named Wycke finds himself unable to leave the space. Strange signs begin to appear: flickering lights, distorted sounds, and a cryptic puzzle that refuses to be solved. As reality fractures, Wycke is confronted by Rompecabezas, a mysterious figure known as the Puzzle Demon, who claims the ritual failed not by accident, but by choice.
Trapped between memory and hallucination, Wycke is forced to revisit moments from his recent past, including the growing tension with his partner Daphne and his rejection by the coven he longs to join. Through fragmented flashbacks and unsettling encounters, the demon challenges Wycke’s version of events, exposing the cracks in his pursuit of power, belonging, and validation.
As the night deepens, escape becomes secondary to confrontation. Puzzle Demon is a psychological thriller about obsession, self-deception, and the terrifying cost of mistaking permission for purpose — where judgment arrives not as punishment, but as clarity.
