Fractured Reflections

"Fractured Reflections" follows Alice, a dedicated hospital worker who, after encountering her doppelganger one fateful night, finds herself trapped in a nightmarish reality where the lines between sanity and madness blur. As she navigates a city that feels increasingly distorted and surreal, Alice becomes haunted by shadowy figures known as the Hunters—malevolent beings that prey on those aware of the fractures in reality.

As she delves deeper into the mystery of her existence and the nature of these fractures, Alice must confront her own identity and fight against the forces that threaten to erase her from reality itself.
