Synopsis
In the near future 2037, the rule-following noob Xeon and technology geek Galahad secretly follow their estranged friend Kite into an abandoned warehouse. Wanting to find out why Kite suddenly stopped being their friend months prior quickly becomes a fight for their lives when they find themselves trapped inside the warehouse by the last remaining VAARG Ark. VAARG was the next generation of gaming and a technological marvel until it started digitising and absorbing players.
According to legend, if you beat the game, you release all the Absorbed, which is something Kite is determined to do, no matter the cost to herself or anyone else.
