Beneath the city lies a secret that was never meant to be found.
What starts as a strange ticking sound in a forgotten corridor soon leads two teenagers into the hidden machinery that controls memory itself.
Niklas always felt there was something off about his school—an odd hum in the walls, shadows that didn't belong. But when he stumbles upon a sealed tunnel deep beneath the building, he uncovers a mysterious system that doesn't just store memories... it edits them.
Together with the bold and curious Jule, Niklas descends into a world of archived truths, forgotten pasts, and a powerful device known only as "the Clockwork."
Every step brings them closer to a choice: accept the world as it is—or rewrite it from below.
