Sinners of Spring

Three things you know for certain:

• You woke up in a locked room with no memory of how you got here.
• There's a hand-drawn map hidden under your bed with the warning: Not everyone is what they seem.
• Dr. Novák says you killed someone named Helena. You don't remember doing it.

The facility is supposed to be treating you. The other patients are supposed to be sick. The doors are supposed to be for your own safety.

But Marta's tracking medication patterns in a stolen notebook. Viktor's burying something in the courtyard dirt. Lucie lifted a key from an orderly's pocket without him noticing. And you found files in a locked office labeling all of you as "Operation Mirror subjects"—not patients, political prisoners.

It's late 1968. Soviet tanks rolled into Prague three months ago. The reforms are dead. The resistance is hunted. And this place doesn't exist on any official map.

Your memories come back in pieces: Helena's face, blood on your hands, a basement meeting that went wrong. But every time you get close to understanding what really happened, the medication fog rolls back in. So you've stopped taking the pills.

Now you're seeing things that might be withdrawal hallucinations. Or might be the truth your brain's been protecting you from.

You have three weeks before your scheduled "treatment complications." There's a Contact List hidden in the chapel basement—names that could buy your freedom or get you killed. The key opens something important. One of your friends might be reporting to Novák. And somewhere in the gaps of your memory is the answer to whether you're a murderer or a scapegoat.

The walls are breathing. Your friends have secrets. The doctor is lying about something.

Figure out which reality is real before they rewrite you completely.
