An abandoned old city is blocked by strange forces, and the survivors are forced to participate in the "Night Game". At midnight every night, absurd rules are announced on the radio, and violators will be dragged away by the Nightmare.
Jiang Linye, a 26-year-old mechanical engineer, is the first trapped person and has a unique golden finger: he goes back one hour every night, and only he retains his memory.
He is calm and rational, uses a silver watch to record changes in reality, and verifies the authenticity of the rules in a death cycle. But backtracking cannot change the ending, it can only reselect the path.
Seven rules, secret room clues, and sobriety value systems emerged one after another. He gradually discovered that he was the "original player" and that the foreign object in his brain was secretly connected to his childhood.
The wording of the broadcast quietly changed after the retrospection, and the reality was slightly rewritten - this nightmare evolved because of him.
