When the sun stops rising, the world doesn’t burn it withers. A planet locked in endless twilight leaves survivors clinging to scraps of light, never realizing each flicker feeds something ancient. In Geneva, a scientist uncovers a spiral etched in radiation too exact to be random. In rural Thailand, a soldier watches his shadow peel away and whisper. And in the ruins of Mexico City, a mother leads her children into a darkness that knows her name.
As society collapses, reality itself twists. Time repeats, streets fold in on themselves, faces split into doubles. Each survivor is stalked by visions, echoes, and voices pressed against the other side of mirrors. And when memory falters, what’s left to believe?
The sun may be dying. But something buried beneath it is stirring awake.
A descent into apocalyptic horror where truth fractures and identity slips. The further they go, the clearer it becomes: this isn’t the end of the world.
It’s the return of something older.
If the sun was never yours, who did your shadow serve?
