Time Core Paradox: Seven-Day Prison

In Magic City in 2099, advertising designer Su Li is trapped in a seven-day time loop. Every time she revives, she discovers a new anomaly that defies the laws of physics: the dates at a convenience store are jumbled, her coworkers contradict themselves, and a bronze mask belonging to a Xiangxi mechanical corpse puppet floats above the scene of a subway accident. An ancient Egyptian solar-calendar pattern appears on the back of her hand, guiding her to a one-eyed clock shop owner. There, she learns that she is the 47th “Awakened,” and that it all has to do with the “Time Core” technology developed by Xuanqi Corporation.
