English

In a cyberpunk metropolis ruled by corporate surveillance, Nov leads a double life: a compliant data worker by day and an anti-establishment hacker by night. Tormented by the death of her sister and driven by revenge, she discovers a way to enter cyberspace through R.E.M sleep, bending digital realm at the cost of her sanity. As her grip on the real world blurs, Nov confronts memory, identity, and the ghostly spectres of a world lost to technology. Dreamer is a stylized, hauntology-infused vision that follows in the steps of classic cyberpunk through analog aesthetics and philosophical background.
