When a withdrawn virtual reality nerd has the opportunity to beta test a neural device that feels more “real” than reality itself,
everything she assumed about the nature of existence is thrown into question.
Supernovas blaze in the night sky, but the gaming world is abuzz over a new virtual reality console.
Jacob Lessard, developer of the Penta device, promises a neural experience more “real” than reality itself.
But what does it truly mean for something to be real?
When Lilya arrives at InterMense to beta test the Penta, she expects to spend the weekend battling her social anxiety
in exchange for the opportunity to enter the Vitalia simulation.
But when Ben, another tester, refuses to leave the world of Vitalia, endangering his life,
Lilya sees that she has become involved in something much more eye-opening than she realized.
As Lilya, Ben, and Jacob’s fates intertwine, they must make some of the hardest decisions of their lives,
and confront their own perceptions of the nature of existence.
Congratulations on coming so far! The final product is so polished. When I first opened the beta, I had only planned to play through a few minutes of it, but I was hooked immediately and ended up doing a full playthrough of what was available at the time (I think Chapters 1 & 2).
