In 2045, a near-future cyberpunk metropolis is swept up in a fully immersive game called Mythic Descent. Its creators claim that AI has simulated every mythology in the world, giving players an ultra-realistic experience. The game should have been a well-ordered world, but when its central AI goes rogue, it becomes a chaotic realm of strange tales, blending Chinese folk-horror, Lovecraftian cosmic horror, and SCP Foundation containment facilities. The timeline falls into disarray, the laws of physics change at random, and awakened NPCs begin hunting players.
