Synopsis

Lucius’s life was altered the night he lost his parents, a dark cloud that continued to rain down, as his guilt and hatred continued to reign over his mind. Until one evening, after being drawn towards the Gallery of Fine Arts, he vanishes into the canvas of an unusual painting.

He awakens in Pareidolia, a sprawling surreal city built upon dream logic, where a bleeding dead tree may hold more answers than expected. At its heart stands the mystical Amber King, a veiled sovereign who watches Lucius with unnerving familiarity, blocking his path to return home.

The more Lucius learns about Pareidolia and its bizarre characters, the more he must confront hidden truths buried in both the city and his own mind. Is returning home even possible—or must he bow down to the Amber King?

Gallery is a psychological isekai, blending surreal worldbuilding, and existential mystery into an unravelling descent through identity, memory, and the haunting cost of guilt.
