The Synopsis

Alan is now nothing more than a ghost in the pages of history. Thrust into a fractured reality, he drifts helplessly between the violent currents of temporal displacement. When he sleeps, he wakes up either in a completely empty, primordial past or a grim, apocalyptic future where his family is gone and the world is altered beyond recognition.

Desperate to reclaim his timeline, Alan strikes a deal with a cryptic Magician who grants him a mysterious box. But the cosmic spells inside were never meant to protect Alan himself—only his home. Now trapped in a completely consuming, frozen present-day void where the cycle of life has been severed and oxygen is bleeding out, you must navigate Alan's fractured existence. His physical shell is dying, but his soul remains eternally marooned. Can you unravel the chrono-void nexus before eternity claims you?
