About
The pitch, and the essentials, for coverage and store pages.
A city built upon forgotten rituals. A journey through dreams, memory and initiation. Every station leads somewhere stranger.
You wake up aboard a subway train.
Every journey ends the same way.
Every awakening leaves something behind.
Beyond its doors lies a city that feels strangely familiar. A distorted reflection of the ordinary, where every stranger seems to know more about you than you do.
Every time you wake up, the city remembers.
Death is permanent. Nothing else is.
