What if your sanctuary was actually your prison? And your captors weren't even human?

When Emma opens her eyes in a luxurious hotel room with no memory of how she got there, something feels terrifyingly wrong beneath the perfect surface. In perfection, only imperfections can reveal the truth.

A catastrophic event destroyed the Earth—or so they're told. Selected to survive in an immaculate sanctuary, Emma, and fellow survivor Aaron, notice disturbing inconsistencies: food with no taste, injuries that heal instantly, and staff who aren't quite... human. As they venture into restricted areas, they uncover a horrifying truth: they're subjects in an alien experiment, digital copies of human consciousness trapped in an endless simulation.

Dive into this chilling sci-fi thriller that questions the nature of reality and consciousness. What makes us human? How do we fight for freedom when our captors control our very existence? With stakes higher than mere survival, "Last Night on Earth" pulls you into a well-crafted nightmare you won't be able to escape.

Get your copy of the Last Night on Earth today to find out Emma and Aaron’s fate.
