Beschreibung
...the time was now...
For years Kartik has felt like he'd rather put his arm through a wood chipper than go to work the next day, or live another day like the last, but he has anyway. There was never a choice. Or, that's what he's told himself, while wondering 'Is this really it?' Seeking answers, he ventures both across the globe and within his own mind, but finds only emptiness.
The Hollow, an unyielding scourge he can't escape, demands his attention and fuels his desperation. Hope arrives in the form of an old friend and a radical proposition: astral travel. But venturing beyond the physical realm requires trust in a powerful and enigmatic ally. Unraveling the secrets of existence will push Kartik to the edge, forcing him to confront not only The Hollow but the very fabric of reality itself. Join him on this mind-bending journey where everything is obvious, but nothing is as it seems.
