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?

Beneath the Shadowlanders
We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.Complete
