Whispers of the Hollow
There's a broken clock in the town of Halden, stuck forever at 3:33 AM, something people just ignore. But when Elia finds a strange note in her own handwriting and her brother goes missing, she can't pretend it's nothing anymore.
What follows is a journey into a strange, shifting place where time feels twisted and memories aren't quite real. With a mysterious guide named Velar, Elia has to face a darkness older than the town itself and the price of uncovering the truth might be more than she's ready to pay.
