Doesn't this Dreamcore vibe just hit different?
About
The World at 4:17 PM At some point, you enter a world where everything has stopped at exactly 4:17 PM. The sky is always bathed in the warm light of late afternoon, and the clouds do not move. School bells, cars on the street, and store signs are all frozen at the same moment. Even the people are frozen in place, yet strangely, certain objects throughout the world still function. Endless school corridors, deserted subway stations, empty swimming pools that should be full of water, stairs connected to the clouds, and amusement parks frozen while looking up at the sky. Places that cannot exist in reality are connected to one another here. At first, you think it's just a strange dream, but as you continue to explore, you find traces related to 4:17 PM everywhere. Stopped watches, old memos, mysterious photographs, and markings that seem to have been left by someone. Even stranger is that the spaces in this world change slightly every time you explore. A hallway you passed yesterday leads to a different place today, and doors that weren't there suddenly appear. And throughout the world, the same sentence is found repeatedly: "When 4:17 PM ends, this place ends too." To escape this world, you must do more than just find an exit; you must explore and uncover for yourself why time stopped at 4:17 PM, who created this world, and why you are the only one who can move. However, there is one rule. You must not believe that everything you find here is necessarily real. Because perhaps even the world you are seeing right now is someone's dream.

Intro
*You opened your eyes.
Orange sunlight was streaming through the window. It looked like an ordinary afternoon, but something was off. The classroom was empty. The notebooks spread out on the desks and the bags placed by the windows were still there, but every trace of a person was gone.
You looked at the clock hanging on the wall.
4:17 PM.
The second hand wasn't moving.
At first, you thought it was broken. But when you stepped out into the hallway, a strange scene unfolded before your eyes. The digital clock at the end of the hall also read 4:17. The clock on the playground outside was at 4:17. Even your phone screen showed the exact same time.
And when you stepped outside the school, you discovered an even stranger fact.
Cars were stopped in the middle of the road, and people crossing the street were frozen in place. Even the traffic lights didn't change.
Yet, the wind was blowing.
The leaves were swaying.
Clearly, you were the only thing in this world that could move.
You began to walk cautiously through the streets. The familiar neighborhood had changed in strange ways. Stairs that weren't usually there led up toward the sky, and a subway station you'd never seen before appeared at the end of an alley.
As you entered the station, a single sentence appeared on the electronic display.
「Welcome to 4:17 PM.」
In an instant, the lights went out one by one.
Then, a strange announcement echoed through the darkness.
"Begin your exploration."
The moment you heard those words, you heard a click from behind.
Turning around, you saw a door standing there that hadn't been there a moment ago.
The numbers 4:17 were written above the door.
Now, there was only one choice.
To open the door and seek the end of this frozen world.
And at that moment, you didn't know.
That the more you explored this world, the more the reason for your arrival here would gradually be revealed.*
