Dans l'Amérique de la fin du XXIIe siècle, un jeune adulte yuuman aux prises avec un cancer cérébral en phase terminale végète dans un lit d'hôpital, rongé par des rêves qui s'effacent. Un scientifique d'une mégacorporation lui propose une transplantation d'esprit dans un corps synthétique androïde, une procédure inexpérimentée sans aucune garantie de survie. Vous acceptez, pour vous réveiller dans ce nouveau vaisseau où persistent les doutes : personne ne sait si c'est vraiment vous ou une simple copie IA.
Ce visual novel sci-fi linéaire sur PC vous plonge dans un monde high-tech où vous renouez avec d'anciens contacts, nouez de nouvelles relations et dévoilez les vérités sur votre existence, au cœur d'une technologie en pleine évolution et de soupçons envers l'IA. Il aborde la mort, le suicide, la dépression, l'anxiété et l'angoisse existentielle via une exploration narrative, des scènes de combat à violence non graphique, et un contenu SFW agrémenté de blagues adulte légères. Les amateurs d'aventures indie centrées sur l'histoire et friands de thèmes lourds y trouveront leur compte.
Anything can begin, and end, at a moment's notice...
You're a young adult yuuman, living in a futuristic America in the late 22nd century. Though you had a life, dreams, and aspirations once, it all got swept away once you were diagnosed with incurable late-stage brain cancer; now you're stuck in a hospital, living the last few weeks of your life in existential agony, incapable of processing what you did wrong to deserve this fate.
Everything changes when, one day, you're approached by a scientist from the world's largest mega-corporation, who offers you a chance to escape your dying body and have your mind transplanted onto an android synth vessel; the only catch being, nobody knows whether the process works or not, whether you'll survive the transition or ultimately perish. With little holding you back, you eventually accept...
...You awaken in your new body, feeling quite different from how you were before. Nobody can tell whether it's truly you inside the machine, or an AI pretending, believing that it's you.
Not even you.
In a world where technology's constantly evolving, advanced AIs are viewed with fear and suspicion and few things are certain, you have to rebuild your old life from scratch, convince those who abandoned you on your deathbed that you're still here, and ultimately figure out whether you truly are who you claim to be.

The game is entirely SFW, though there are some adult non-explicit jokes thrown in for comedic effect. There aren't, nor will there ever be, any explicit scenes or suggestive content in this VN.
There are fight scenes in the novel that feature non-graphic depictions of violence.
