A futuristic spin on the modern world gives V a chance to see her life under the light of what might happen to the world in the years to follow.
But this world has its own rules. It is possible to view each world as a game, which grants a win to everyone once they have finished their cycles of life and death. This one is not an exception. Filled with cyberpunks, vehicles suspended high in the air, loner wolves, and crimes (that all seem to be misleading), it sounds like a simple fictional comic book.
Until you try it out for yourself.
What is the biggest crisis of humanity? The depletion of sources necessary for survival?
Or something...more?
After all,
the line between fiction and reality is so very, very thin.
