Hello World

“I promise I’ll come back for you.”
Sly remembers this promise. Who he promised it to, the when and the why are more unclear. His memory is in shattered fragments and getting worse by the day, and all he’s got to go on is a name and a faded photograph. And a very pushy voice in his head nagging him nonstop. It’s a race against his own deteriorating mind to uncover the truth and keep his promise.
