In 2077 AD, the "tide of consciousness" swept across the world. The torrent of data washed away the skeleton of civilized society and reduced the world to a wasteland. Yin Yu, a cutting-edge scientific researcher who once parted ways with his best friend Lin Xiao due to differences in ideas, accidentally awakened the "behind-the-scenes director system" during the catastrophe and became the "checker and balancer" between the gap between reality and data.
In charge of the system and holding an encryption chip related to the truth of the world, Yin Yu took Su Ran and the girl A Li, who also lost their homes in the disaster, to survive in the crisis-ridden wasteland. Not only do they have to face mutated monster "data puppets" and predatory scavenger gangs, but they also have to be wary of the "Purifier" organization that operates under the name of "purifying human consciousness" and actually exercises control. And when a metal plate engraved with mysterious symbols appears, a larger black hand hidden behind the "Tide of Consciousness" disaster - the "Source" organization, gradually emerges.
Friends and enemies of the past, companions and mysteries of today. Yin Yu must use his "director" ability to weave a survival script in the ruins, dig out the truth buried in lies, and find the final echo and spring for this broken world in a desperate situation.
