They thought they were investigating. They were integrating.
Marcus leads Team #47 into the Fifth Anomaly, an impossible facility that exists at the threshold between realities. The investigation is routine. The documentation is standard. The integration is inevitable.
As the boundaries grow thin, the team discovers that humanity's role in the cosmos might not be what they imagined. Some truths are too large to carry. Some functions require observers. Some choices were made long before you arrived.
Perfect for fans of House of Leaves, SCP Foundation, and Portal's GLaDOS—cosmic horror that asks: what if humanity's purpose is just to be useful?
