Some records are never meant to be kept. Some witnesses are never meant to survive.

When government archivist Mara Devlin is sent to restore a long-abandoned records facility known only as Vault B, she expects dust, silence, and the slow crawl of fluorescent light.
What she finds are files that shouldn’t exist—records of events that haven’t happened yet, documents written in her own handwriting, and recordings that whisper her name in the dark.

At first, Mara blames exhaustion, the hum of the servers, the loneliness of underground corridors lined with forgotten history.
But as she digs deeper, the archive begins to respond. Files open themselves. Deleted entries reappear. And each time she looks away from the monitor, her reflection lags a second behind.

The deeper she goes, the clearer it becomes: the archive isn’t preserving the past—it’s creating it.
And now, it wants her to finish the story.

A haunting descent into the machinery of memory and obsession, The Archivist’s Last Witness is a modern gothic for the digital age—where data hums like the voice of the dead, where the act of remembering becomes a curse, and where the most terrifying thing you can discover in the dark is your own file.
