Cicada 1142

At 01:14:02, an image appears on a dead message board. A cicada. A number. A warning: WE FOUND WHAT 3301 WAS LOOKING FOR. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE FOUND US. Euan Vale saves the image before it disappears. Hidden inside are coordinates, altered files, impossible photographs and a book that should not exist. Every clue leads deeper into Glasgow. Every discovery points backward through decades. And every path seems to end at the same moment. 01:14:02. What begins as an anonymous internet puzzle becomes something far more personal when Euan discovers that the archive already knows his name. And has been waiting for him. CICADA: 1142 is an experimental graphic novel told through surveillance footage, corrupted files, hidden messages, archival documents and analogue-horror imagery. Some puzzles want to be solved. This one wants to be stopped.
