Twelve years ago, Kirigami City's city record was interrupted for seventeen minutes.
Seventeen minutes later, the city returned to normal, with only some people losing their names, identities, and qualifications to be remembered. Shen Yan's sister Shen Zhi also disappeared during that time.
Many years later, Shen Yan became a recordkeeper. While investigating the "No Fourth Station" case, he came into contact with the abnormal records left by the White Noise Year again. He discovered that the city relied on public archives that did more than record reality—when archives, testimonies, and physical evidence conflicted with the majority's perceptions, it chose a version and subordinated reality to it.
In order to find his sister, Shen Yan must trace the seventeen bottom pages and enter the "page changing tide" that is happening again and again. But every time he gets closer to the truth, he must admit a fact that is detrimental to him.
This city won't kill you. It just makes everyone believe that you never existed
