    Would you give everything for a world that will never remember your name? Across ruined cities and lost deserts, four strangers awaken, each haunted by visions and memories that do not belong to them. In the frost-choked depths beneath a dying metropolis, Asthera leads the last survivors toward an impossible hope. Innaue dreams of a twin she cannot find. Rima and Shurei are exiles, marked by thirst and prophecy, carrying wounds that are not entirely their own. Somewhere, beneath it all, the Dreamflow stirs, an ancient current binding worlds, lives, and memories in a cycle that refuses to break. As the lines between self and other dissolve, each must confront a question no one dares ask: What would you sacrifice if no one would remember you tried? Failsafe is a mythic, mind-bending journey through love, loss, recursion, and the cost of hope, where the only way to save a broken world is to let it go.
