What would happen if humanity woke up with hyperempathy (i.e. "vibe-psychic")?
Psychofauna is a crazy blend of fantasy & sci-fi. It follows a few maladjusted protagonists who are forced to navigate a world of living ideas. A kaleidoscopic variety of myths, memes, sentient ideologies are all vying for control of collective consciousness. You know, just like our world. 😛
