At midnight, a heavy wooden door coalesced from shadows and appeared without a sound, opening onto the “Gallery of Eternal Night,” a place lodged between reality and illusion. Each painting is a supernatural trap unto itself, reflecting the deepest fears of whoever looks at it. And behind them lurks an evil wizard’s scheme: using dark sorcery to control the paintings and absorb fear to prolong his life. Those consumed by fear will have their souls trapped in the paintings forever.
Detective Lin Yu stumbles into this haunted realm, and the exit vanishes in an instant. The terrors in the paintings close in at every step. But his cool head and keen powers of observation are his only weapons against the uncanny. As others fall apart in fear, Lin Yu uses his experience solving cases to uncover the rules: only by confronting the fear within can he break free of the gallery’s chains, and perhaps expose the shadow of the wizard, who has never shown his face yet is everywhere.
Every second before sunrise is a countdown to life or death. Lin Yu must not only escape the eternal night, but also stop the power of fear from spreading. And so begins a struggle in the darkness against the abyss of the human heart.
