Nightfall
Every night from 2:00 to 2:17 AM, the city loses its memory. The cameras die. The roads turn back. One man remembers enough to be afraid.
Atmosphere
Wet asphalt, stopped clocks, sodium streetlights, and deep midnight blue cut by tarnished gold.
Places that matter
- Mercer Street
- The abandoned Central clock tower
- Nightfall city limits
- The evidence archive beneath City Hall
