Two patients. One ward after dark. And something waiting.

Brian expects a dull, painful night after his cycling accident—bad wrists, a shattered ankle, and too much time to think. What he doesn't expect is his teenage roommate, Tanner, insisting that his amputated arm comes back while he sleeps.

At first, Brian chalks it up to trauma and medication. Hospitals do strange things to people. But when the lights dim and unfamiliar sounds skitter across the floor, doubt creeps in. Tanner's wounds won't stop bleeding. The nurses are too attentive. And one of them seems especially interested in what Tanner is missing.

As the hours drag on, Brian realises the hospital ward isn't the safe place he assumed. Something is moving through the shadows—quiet, patient, hungry—and it's using the staff to get close to the people who can't run.

Trapped in bed and running out of options, Brian is forced to decide whether to save himself… or stay and protect a boy who no one else seems willing to help.

Nocturnal Limbs is a claustrophobic plunge into medical terror, where sterile corridors hide unspeakable appetites and surviving the night may be impossible.
