"Do you know the truth?"

In 2033, an AI-generated song drove most of humanity to madness. Everyone who turned demanded the same, insane, unanswerable question.

Decades later, twenty-year-old Nick Kanata is exiled from a city of survivors for the crime of making music.

Nick joins Alex, an elderly journalist, and Imani, the city’s disgraced leader, on a pilgrimage to where this Chaos Tune first played. Here, a mysterious figure calling itself the Lady of Faces rules over an army of the mad.

As they cross a continent of ruins, Nick discovers he can intuit the emotions of others, a gift that reveals both the horror and beauty still hidden in their broken world.

The Lady, however, wants this strange gift for herself, and she’ll do whatever she can to claim it.

Monsters arrived one day from the infinite black. Everyone has one, and they follow us like shadows. There are cosmic beings pulled straight from Lovecraft's imagination. There are sadistic clowns who mutilate themselves for their audiences of one. There are ghosts and ghouls, chimeras, and everything in between.

Somehow, though, mine is the worst of all.
