Deep in the mountains stands the Keep—massive, ancient, wrong. Josyff arrives to do simple work for the New Order, telling himself to keep his head down, ask no questions, just do the job. But nothing about the Keep is simple. His work makes no sense. His dreams bleed into waking. The building itself seems to shift when no one's watching.
When the authoritarian Adroyan arrives with his mysterious nemesis Esyal, the Keep's strangeness intensifies. Reality becomes negotiable. The walls pulse with impossible life. And Josyff, caught between forces he cannot understand, feels his sanity slipping away like sand through desperate fingers.
A standalone psychological horror-fantasy that will leave you questioning what's real.
