World Seed

In the year 2245, humanity experiences unprecedented industrial expansion, largely driven by the established age of Virtual Reality. This technology has created new avenues for both leisure and employment, with some individuals even forsaking their physical forms to live as digital beings within online communities. However, despite VR's prevalence, the collective desire for a groundbreaking advancement in adventure persists. After a century of anticipation, this next leap has arrived. The introduction of "Seeds," the first consoles of this new era, offers a level of realism so profound that the experience transcends Virtual Reality, becoming an Artificial Reality. The central question posed is what occurs when these simulated worlds achieve an unprecedented level of verisimilitude.
