In a future where forgetting is restricted and memory is measured, Aren Vale works as a technician editing people's lives down to what they are allowed to remember. When an error sends Aren outside the system's control, they fall into a world where memory is no longer restricted and time begins to fracture under the weight of too many truths. As reality shatters and choices multiply, Aren must face their own role in creating the system they once believed was merciful. Blending speculative science fiction with psychological tension, The City That Forgets explores what happens when control masquerades as kindness - and whether remembering everything is freedom, or another form of ruin.
