The world is a high-speed video that is starting to buffer. The sky flickers between blue and a deep, terrifying purple, and the ground sometimes loses its texture, leaving people walking on nothingness. Everyone is addicted to 'Uptime', a social ranking that determines if you are 'real' or just a background character.
The Debugger Bunker
A hidden command center under the city where screens float in mid-air without mounts. The walls hum like a cooling fan, and the air smells like ozone and old electricity. A large glass table shows a map of the city that flickers like a dying lightbulb.
