One morning, Frank wakes up to a world with no people, no sound, and no sign of life. Everyone - gone. Not dead. Just... gone.
The streets are quiet, phones don't ring, and the only thing that responds is a mysterious red telephone booth - ringing in the middle of the desert.
And then it speaks.
It tells him to follow. To find. To come.
Haunted by "typing..." on Discord, chased by hallucinations of loved ones, and guided by a little girl in a pink dress, Frank's journey becomes a surreal race to understand what happened - and why he's the only one left.
But nothing is what it seems.
Fireflies, forgotten schools, ancient music rooms, a talking booth, and the silence of crying souls - all lead to a final choice.
Will he find his way back? Or has he always belonged in the silence?

Ashes of tomarrow
Genre: Sci-Fi | Psychological Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Drama When the world burned, four teenagers survived. Milo, Rae, Ava, and Silas didn't ask to live through the end - but they did. Now, stuck in a ruined world of silence, shadows, and memories that aren't always their own, they fight to stay human in a landscape shaped by something unnatural. But survival gets more complicated when they uncover a chilling truth: the apocalypse wasn't a disaster. It was a test. A controlled experiment under the name Project Loci - and they were its subjects. Now stalked by cloned imposters, haunted by flickers of who they used to be, and drawn toward a signal no one else is meant to hear, the group must decide what they're willing to lose to uncover the truth... and what might already be lost. Because in a world built from lies, the biggest question isn't what happened. It's who are you now that everything's gone? What will happen once one dies?
