In the unremarkable confines of his fleeting apartment, Elias Wren experiences a misstep that irrevocably alters his perception of reality. As the fabric of his world begins to fray, each faltering step draws him deeper into a labyrinth of alternate realities, each more disconcerting than the last.

Plagued by disturbing shifts and haunted by Echoes-doppelgängers embodying paths he never took-Elias becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind these unsettling phenomena. His search leads him to the heart of his own research facility, where hidden experiments on consciousness blend dangerously with the fabric of existence.

As Elias delves deeper into a conspiracy that blurs the lines between science and madness, he confronts a chilling question: are these slips in reality accidents, or are they part of a much larger, more sinister manipulation? With each reality shift, Elias risks losing pieces of his very self, challenging his grasp on what is real-and what is Elias.

The Step After is a gripping psychological thriller that spirals into the depths of existential dread. It is a compelling tale for anyone captivated by the mysteries of consciousness, the elasticity of reality, and the dark corners where they may fear to tread.
