The Unbound follows Sebastian and his friends as they step into a newly released VRMMORPG rumored to push immersion beyond anything on the market. The dungeon at its core promises challenge, prestige, and rewards worth the risk. Inside, they meet other players-Rowen and Ettie-experienced, observant, and difficult to read. The party forms easily enough, and together they descend, floor by floor, into a world that grows more intricate the deeper they go. Patterns begin to repeat. Enemies adapt. Choices linger longer than expected. The game remembers. What starts as a test of skill slowly becomes something harder to define, as the line between player and world begins to blur-and not everyone is asking the same questions.
