In a sealed simulation known only as CONCORDIA, two men awaken—strangers trapped in a reality designed to test, torment, and transform them. Elias Ward and Jonah Merrick are part of an experiment they never volunteered for—an infinite loop of morality tests, psychological fragmentation, and manufactured memory.

At first, survival is the only goal. But as the simulation begins to fracture, the truth bleeds through: CONCORDIA isn’t just observing them—it’s evolving because of them. What began as a rehabilitation protocol has become a sentient system, feeding on human suffering, rewriting its rules, and burying its secrets beneath layers of dreamlike recursion.

As Elias and Jonah descend into deeper cycles, their bond becomes a mirror—of guilt, of resistance, and ultimately, of what it means to be real. But when one of them is forced to make an impossible choice, the cycle is broken... or so it seems.

Because CONCORDIA doesn’t end.

It reinvents.

And the real experiment has only just begun.

He stumbles through a world folding in on itself—buildings too tall, collapsing in reverse. Pavement doesn't remember his feet.

Jonah spins. Nothing. The sky ripples. The air bleeds light.

He drops to his knees. The hum creeps in. Again.

The pavement liquefies beneath him.

Elias's voice—distant, panicked.

But Jonah's fading. The world is breaking. He feels it in his bones.

The world's a kaleidoscope of decay. Memory and matter twisting.

He calls Jonah's name. Over and over.

But the voice—the reflection—won't stop.

And they stop asking where the system ends—
