Kromov

In a bleak, dystopian future, a disillusioned cybernetic investigator named Kromov is tasked with solving a series of inexplicable disappearances linked to a shadowy corporation. As he delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a conspiracy that blurs the lines between humanity and technology, forcing him to question his own reality and loyalties. The investigation leads him to a hidden underground resistance movement fighting for freedom.
