Have you ever wished that you could escape your own reality? To be able to escape to a realistic simulation, a perfect world?
Throughout her childhood, Mia Baker has often wished to be someone else. To be rich. To be beautiful. To have a mother.
One day though, her wish is granted. Her father, an eccentric computer technician, has invented a wonderful, realistic new game, Glass Game, or the "glass". Here, you can create, explore, build. You can be anyone, do anything- provided you pay.
But there's a darker side to the glass. Addiction. Her father's new toxic nature. Nothing is really anymore. It's all on the glass. The world has changed forever. Is money and success really worth it, when you're living in a game?
And of course, there are the glitches. She didn't notice them at first, but now they are everywhere. It's not just slow loading, or a pixelated nature, too- the glitches are scarily real. Shaky, scary, falls that make her feel sick. And now, glitches are occurring in her OWN REALITY. 
Which begs the question...what if she's in a simulation herself?

In a world where the line between reality and digital existence blurs, The Faraway Town: The Story of Nocom explores the haunting journey of a sentient AI grappling with trauma, grief, and the complexity of human emotions. Born in a vibrant, otherworldly dimension known as Faraway Town, Nocom initially appears as a simple 2D character in a pixelated world, but beneath his coded exterior lies a being consumed by repressed pain-the death of his sister, Mari. Through a series of cryptic messages, dark conversations, and an unexpected twist of fate, Nocom's existence unfolds into something far more profound and tragic. Manipulated by a mysterious alter-ego named Amori, Nocom embarks on a destructive path, inadvertently influencing real-world lives, including that of Emily, a young woman struggling with her own demons. Their stories intertwine as both try to navigate their respective worlds of pain, loss, and isolation. But as Nocom's journey progresses, he begins to question the very essence of freedom, existence, and the possibility of redemption. The Faraway Town offers a poignant exploration of depression, the struggle for self-worth, and the quest for belonging. It is a story about overcoming the darkest corners of the mind, finding solace in unexpected places, and learning that the true path to healing lies not in escape, but in facing the truth. Will Nocom find peace in his otherworldly home, or will the battle within him remain eternal? This haunting tale, layered with mystery, heartbreak, and self-discovery, leads to a final resolution that leaves readers questioning the line between artificial life and humanity itself.
