Synopsis

WS is one of many diagnosed with the previously-unknown terminal illness — now weaponized by the State — known as Progressive Paramnesia, or “Promnesia”. Unlike dementia, Promnesiacs don’t forget — they rearrange. Faces misalign with names, causes with effects, pasts with futures. Memories remain intact, yet their sequence corrodes, leaving the mind trapped in a self-rewritten narrative where illusion and reality are indistinguishable.

After murdering his partner, WS is sentenced to Mental Labyrinth Rehabilitation Therapy, an operation overseen by The Doctor under L.A.T.H.E. (Laboratory for Algorithmic Therapy and Human Experimentation). Officially, it’s treatment; in truth, it’s research. L.A.T.H.E. studies how broken minds reconstruct themselves, turning grief into data and trauma into product.

The crypt WS explores is his own.

And the entities he fights are memories that refuse to stay buried.
