A metaphysical horror meditation on the nature of consciousness and reality, where an expanding dream becomes an existential trap.

Strange things lurk in dreams. For Mukoda Tetsurou and the doctors tending to him, things have begun to get stranger as Mukoda begins having longer and longer dreams every night. Can one dream infinity in the span of a night?
