In the shadowy realm between dreams and reality, Makas awakens with no memory of his past. Thrust into a world he doesn’t understand, he’s told he has a divine purpose: to brawl against the nightmarish creatures born from human trauma.

Welcome to Moonshade, a mysterious bar where the Night Brawlers gather. These chosen few are tasked with venturing into the subconscious minds of troubled souls, confronting the monstrous manifestations of their deepest fears and darkest memories.

As our hero grapples with his own lost identity, he must learn to navigate this dangerous dreamscape, facing not only the horrors lurking in others’ minds but also the growing suspicions and mistrust that his own forgotten past imposes on him.

Will he embrace his calling as a Night Brawler and uncover the truth of his existence, or will the monsters of the mind consume him, leaving the world of dreams—and reality—in peril?
