Set in post-9/11 Afghanistan, The Corridor is Pakistan's first interactive horror novella that combines audio, visual and text-based content to narrate the story of an American defense contractor, Alan Baker, and a young Afghan girl, Maha Gul Afridi, who find themselves stranded in a remote, zombie-infested valley in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan. Alan is a former US Army soldier who is dispatched to Afghanistan, with a team of private security contractors, to capture a notorious Taliban commander with a large bounty on his head. Maha Gul is an Afghan girl whose village is ravaged by a biological weapons experiment gone horribly wrong. Narrated by a former UN officer with knowledge of the incident – based on Alan’s audio logs and Maha Gul’s eyewitness account – the story follows Alan and Maha Gul’s ordeal as they struggle to escape from the valley in the face of overwhelming odds.
