    The year is 2071. You wake up to a dull vibration from your neuralink chip. Strange, its 2am.

    You dont realize it, but a power failure and faulty CMOS battery on a mainboard somewhere has caused a server to reboot with the wrong BIOS time. Before NTP gets a chance to update the internal clock, the server sends out what it thinks is a massive backlog of alarm triggers, waking almost every sleeping person on the planet simultaneously.

    Somewhere in the abyssal zone, the sudden collective pulse of mental energy causes an ancient evil to stir and wake from its million year slumber. The age of sleep has ended, only a perverse and endless twilight nightmare can now fill Hypnos’ void in the minds of men.
