Dead Time

Patrick D'Amyan is running out of time to finish his thesis. The Royal Academy has rejected his proposals due to a lack of supporting evidence - the artifact which Patrick claims to be hidden in the palace's closed wing does not exist.

80 years have passed since the wing was sealed shut, but Patrick knows how to get in. With a little help from his friend Dante, and a strong prybar, the window to the old wing should be an easy access point. Still, some secrets are kept for good reason, and doors boarded shut are often better left closed.

Getting inside will be the least of his worries.

Dead Time is a short standalone horror story exploring the fear of being trapped in past decisions, and not changing paths when one should.

This comic is in the same universe as   Uneven Keel, set several decades in the future in post-war Carpe! No knowledge of   Uneven Keel  or the Nincoria sea region is required, as   Dead Time    stands entirely on its own, but readers of both may find some interesting overlapping lore between the two.

Full disclosure: This comic will be released for free in October 2026. Consider this early-access - thank you for your support!
