Death is Not the End. Forgetting Is.

What happens if you die and no one is there to mourn you? Where does a soul go when it slips through the cracks of memory?

Leo was an artist, a boy who lived his life in the margins, more comfortable observing the world than being a part of it. After a tragic accident, he dies for three minutes—only to awaken in Nehmora, the City of the Banished Souls.

This is not heaven or hell. It is a bleak, monochrome purgatory for the forgotten, a place where spirits are trapped in endless loops, their identities slowly devoured by a silent, creeping oblivion.

Leo discovers he is different. He is the only soul who can still see the living world, a vibrant, colorful realm just beyond his reach. But this connection is a curse. The more he clings to the memories of his past—to the face of his grieving grandmother—the faster his own essence fades.

Now, as a primordial darkness awakens in the city's heart, Leo faces an impossible choice: use his power to fight his way back to life, or sacrifice himself to save the countless forgotten souls from being erased forever.
