Plot
Several people wake up in a kind of multi-story underground prison, which they entered voluntarily, in exchange for various privileges after being released from prison. There are two prisoners at each level, and how many levels there are is unknown. All floors are connected by a common well, through which a platform with food is lowered once a day. There is an unthinkable number of dishes on it, but the lower the prisoners live, the less likely they are to receive something. All they get is gnawed bones and human excrement. There is a way out - you can agree to distribute food evenly, but so far no one has succeeded. People behave cruelly even though they know that every month they are randomly relocated, and those who lived below get a chance to get revenge ...
