They work, trade, travel, celebrate and live every hour of every day. Some even work 24 hours straight because, on this planet, staying awake is simply a part of life.\n\nThey have never heard of sleep.\n\nThey have never dreamed.\n\nThey have never experienced the mysterious state humans call night.\n\nUntil the humans arrive.\n\nAfter a wild night at a nightclub, a group of friends struggle to remember where they left their cars. In their confusion, they wander down one level too far into the car park — and discover something that should not exist.\n\nHidden beneath the nightclub is a secret passage.\n\nA passage leading not to another street, another building or another city…\n\n…but to another planet.\n\nThe humans step through and find themselves in a strange and astonishing world. But instead of being met with hostility, they are welcomed with open arms. The planet's inhabitants are curious, generous and fascinated by their unexpected visitors.\n\nFor a while, everything seems perfect.\n\nThen night falls.\n\nThe humans become exhausted.\n\nThey explain that they need to sleep.\n\nTheir new friends have absolutely no idea what they mean.\n\nSo the humans demonstrate.\n\nThey lie down.\n\nThey close their eyes.\n\nAnd they sleep.\n\nFascinated, the beings decide to try it themselves.\n\nAt first, everything seems fine.\n\nBut when morning comes…\n\nthe beings don't wake up.\n\nThey aren't dead.\n\nThey are breathing.\n\nTheir hearts are beating.\n\nBut nothing can wake them.\n\nNot noise. Not movement. Not pain. Not medicine.\n\nThe entire planet has fallen into a mysterious, coma-like sleep.\n\nAnd suddenly the humans realise the horrifying truth:\n\nThey didn't just discover another world.\nThey changed it.\n\nWith their new friends trapped in an unexplained sleep, the humans must journey across the planet to uncover what has happened — and find a way to reverse it.\n\nBut the deeper they travel, the more they discover about this extraordinary world, its mysterious origins and the hidden forces that may have been waiting for someone from Earth to arrive.\n\nTheir accidental adventure has become a desperate race against time.\n\nBecause if they cannot wake the planet…","html":"","width":500,"height":480,"thumbnail_url":"https://audius-content-11.figment.io/content/baeaaaiqsebqbwf5edmt5pe37bvakr4u4bbwxupnuvbhu73krkh3mk7ox7oi56/480x480.jpg","thumbnail_width":480,"thumbnail_height":480,"author_name":"Justin Empire","author_url":"https://audius.co/kissinginlove","cache_age":3600}
