Genius game designer Cheng Che was falsely accused of plagiarism and his career was ruined. In desperation, he received an invitation from a mysterious game cabin and entered a deadly world called "Nova Infinite Game". In the first copy of "Nightmare Academy", only three of the ten players could leave alive. On the verge of death, Cheng Che was rescued by the mysterious player Qi Xiao, who claimed, "This is the seventh time you have forgotten me."
As the game progresses, Cheng Che discovers that this is not a virtual world, but a real memory experimental field. Each copy is a program module he once designed, and clearing the level is actually to retrieve the memory fragments sealed by the system. As the first awakened NPC, Qi Xiao has searched for Cheng Che across seven dungeons, and Cheng Che himself is actually the original designer of the system.
From the gloomy "Forgetting Clinic" to the "Memory Maze" where data floods, Cheng Che gradually pieced together the cruel truth: the system has long been out of control, imprisoning human consciousness as an experiment. The snowflake scar on his elbow is the backdoor key, and his bond with Qi Xiao transcends code limits. When the third core code fragment returns, Cheng Che faces the ultimate choice - destroy the system and gain freedom, or keep it in exchange for Qi Xiao's existence?
In this game of memories and lies, the only real thing is that Qi Xiao still holds his hand tightly despite countless resets.
Concept: At the boundary between virtuality and reality, the journey of Cheng Che and Qi Xiao is not only a survival game, but also a profound discussion of memory, the meaning of existence and the authenticity of artificial emotions.
