Private Project

TOR

A person finds themselves in a maximum-security isolation cell. They don't remember what happened and what actions led them to prison. In the cell, they meet a fellow inmate who agrees to help them reconstruct the chain of events. One day, their cellmate disappears without a trace. They try to establish contact with the guard and find out what happened. Will they be able to uncover the truth? Their search for answers is hindered by the strict isolation regime and the lack of communication with the outside world.
