OverviewWhat if the thing that makes you different is the very thing that makes you powerful? Doryto O'Shannassy has always lived on the edge of everything-society, stability, and belonging. With a name born from a bag of chips and a childhood shaped by uncertainty, he's learned to rely on the one thing he can trust: his uncanny ability to find anything that's lost. And he means anything. From missing keys to runaway pets, Doryto's gift is precise and instinctual. It's also the only thing keeping him afloat as he tries to build a life in Birmingham, Alabama-running a struggling storefront by day and secretly sleeping behind his desk at night. He keeps people at a distance. After all, people come with complications-and pain. Everything changes when a mysterious woman walks into his shop. She claims to be his grandmother... and not his grandmother. She speaks of parallel worlds, alternate lives, and a power that runs through their bloodline. Then she offers him a stack of cash and a desperate request: find her missing grandson-a version of Doryto lost somewhere beyond this reality. It sounds impossible. Until Doryto begins to feel it. A pull. A presence. The sense that something-or someone-is both everywhere and nowhere at once. And then there's the smell. A sickly sweet scent that signals something far more dangerous than a missing person. Something ancient. Something watching. Looking for answers, Doryto turns to his eccentric mother, Clementine, who reveals a truth that changes everything. He isn't just gifted-he's part of a lineage that can move between dimensions. Hidden in plain sight for generations, their power is tied to an ordinary object he's worn his entire life. A ring. With it, he can step into worlds layered beside his own-where different versions of himself exist, shaped by different choices. But the rules are simple and terrifying: if you die in one world, you die in all of them. And something else travels between dimensions, hunting those who slip between them. When Doryto takes the leap, reality fractures. Cities shift. Lives change. Familiar places become unrecognizable. And then he meets himself-not a reflection, but another life entirely. Each version reveals a different path, a different outcome... a different truth. But finding a missing person across multiple realities is nothing like tracking a lost dog. His gift begins to falter. The deeper he goes, the more visible he becomes. The creatures between dimensions are watching-and closing in. Now, Doryto must decide: stay in the life he knows, or risk everything to uncover who he really is. Doryto and the Door of Wanderers is a genre-bending adventure filled with humor, heart, and imagination. It's a story about identity, connection, and the lives we might have lived. Because sometimes, finding what's lost means stepping into a world you never knew existed. And sometimes... what you find is yourself.
