Mind Trace

In the year 2084, memory is no longer sacred - it's currency.When former detective Vincent Harrow wakes aboard a mysterious train slicing through the frozen Alps, he's haunted by the absence of his own past and a murder that may never have occurred. No body. No weapon. No memory of the crime. Only the chilling phrase whispered through the walls: "Car Nine remembers."Aboard the Nocturne Express, thirteen passengers-all with erased pasts-are forced to confront their deepest truths inside a recursive dreamscape where time fractures, mirrors bleed, and identity is as fragile as snow. Guided by a child prophet, stalked by a memory-born horror, and confronted with reflections of himself that shouldn't exist, Harrow discovers the greatest mystery isn't who the killer is... but what remains of him.As REVERIE's Trace Program begins to collapse, and Car Nine opens its doors, the question is no longer what's real-but who survives it.
