Oliver N. Madison was just your ordinary Pacifican investigator from Los Angeles up until a fateful encounter with a bee made him realize a terrible, unmistakable truth: his entire world was fake. Ever since then, his keen eyes couldn’t stop seeing the ever-worsening glitches, his fellow citizens’ memories constantly wiped clean of both them and worse yet: him. Oliver was reduced to a pathetic, lonely shell—taunted by God, he thought. Until he met an enigmatic entity simply named ‘M’—a self-described demiurge (and devilish creep) who revealed that not only was his world some ‘complex simulation’ whatever-a-place, it was also dying. Declaring him the solution (without elaboration), with a snap of a finger M dropped him (butt naked) straight into Nexus, another ‘fake’ world broken in its own way. Forced to play M’s game, equipped with a nifty interface doodad and shooter from Mars, Oliver must survive a harsh basin left ruined by a past catastrophe; inhabited by desperate wildlife, less-than-friendly ‘players’, and a crumbling System losing control. Iteration after iteration, he pushes himself forward fueled by one single goal: he will break out into the Real World. Additional tag(s): Alternate History, Eco-Fiction, Metafiction, Noir.
