a fan-made tribute layout

Memento
of the Hour

A stylistic homage to dusk-lit dorm hallways, tarot-marked companions, and the hour that doesn't officially exist. Not an official product — a design study in the mood.

Premise

A door opens between one day and the next.

Every night, the clock folds in on itself. Coffins line the streets, moon hangs low and swollen, and a tower nobody else can see climbs out of the schoolyard.

You're new to the dorm. The seniors don't explain everything, and the transfer student rarely asks — but the silence between midnight and one has a shape, and it's waiting for someone to walk through it.

Piece together your evenings between class, part-time work, and the quiet hour past the veil. Every choice — who you sit with, what you study, who you trust — echoes into what waits at the top of the tower.

The Dorm

Six strangers, one shared hour.

Systems

Two lives, one calendar.

A day-by-day loop of school, bonds, and descent — the layout's excuse for a features grid.

01 — Daylight

Classroom & Calendar

Attend lessons, pick up a part-time shift, or spend the afternoon with someone worth knowing better. Every hour spent is an hour you won't get back before the tower calls again.

02 — Bonds

Companions, Not Stats

Time spent with the dorm isn't just flavor — it reshapes what your team can do in the hour past midnight. Trust is a resource here, same as any other.

03 — Descent

The Tower, Floor by Floor

Climb with a party of masks and blades. Nothing above the ground floor plays by daylight rules, and the deeper you go, the less it resembles the school you left behind.

A Long Way From Anywhere

"Welcome to the Velvet Room.
This place exists between mind and matter — dream and reality.
It is a space that only those who have signed a contract can enter."
— an unfamiliar voice, from somewhere behind a very long nose
