For Fourth, survival means keeping his head down, blending into the background, and enduring the suffocating, violent silence of his home. He used to be a genius. Now, he's just tired. His world has faded into a numbing, endless gray-punctuated only by a failing grade of 75 and the arrogant, mocking smirk of his academic rival, Gemini.
Gemini is the untouchable, straight-A valedictorian. He wears his flawless reputation like armor, using sharp words and a cold demeanor to keep everyone at a distance. To the rest of the school, they are just two rivals locked in a petty, bitter war for the top ranking.
But when a traumatic Tuesday ends in bloodshed, the script breaks.
Instead of dying, Fourth wakes up on his couch to the same aggressive morning sun, his cracked glasses on the floor, and the same ink stain on his desk. The day is repeating. But as the loops progress, the world around them begins to glitch, actively deleting people and rotting away at the edges. And Fourth isn't the only one who remembers the previous day.
Trapped together in a decaying, reality-bending nightmare, the petty high school drama vanishes. To survive a faceless entity determined to make them relive their darkest, hidden childhood traumas, the two rivals must shed their armor and lean on each other. Because as the timeline fractures and horrific secrets from their past lives come to light, they realize a terrifying truth:
The world is disappearing, their futures are broken, and they only have each other.
But how do you escape a game when you don't even know who clicked Play?
