The city is not a place; it's a symptom. And it's about to crack from the inside out.

At 5:45 AM on a Tuesday, Cláudia stands on a third-floor ledge. She's not there out of exhaustion or fear, but because the air smells of cold metal, out-of-season flowers, and broken promises. The city of Nocturna is breathing, and its inhabitants are suffocating in its neon-lit darkness.

Nocturna weaves together a haunting cast of souls navigating a world where isolation and control are merely veils. From Elias's Geometry of Silence and Vesper's dangerous bets to Lanah's peculiar roses and Aris's profound silence, every character represents a crack in a perfect sidewalk. In a society that relentlessly demands you to be unbreakable, they will discover that true courage lies in admitting their fractures.

Taking care of our mental health and acknowledging the silent pain of those we love is not a sign of weakness, but the greatest act of resistance.

A poetic, noir-infused exploration of the human condition, Nocturna is a reminder that even in the darkest cities, the crack is where the light gets in.
