Florence

You're a legend. One of the top videogame creators of your generation. Everyone knows your name, your face, your games. You made it to the top of the world, but you’re not exactly the nicest person, are you? Arrogant, demanding, and hard to work with. You’ve burned bridges, made enemies, and left a trail of jealous colleagues in your wake. Still, none of that mattered. Until now. The countdown is on. In just a month, your latest masterpiece, 'The Killer' will be launched. A game that blends VR with a neural implant, so immersive that it’s been called revolutionary. Set in the grim streets of Victorian London, it’s your vision. You know it’s going to be a smash hit. As you sit in your sleek office on a Friday night, preparing to debug, you plug in your neuronal implant, the one that connects you directly to the game. But there’s a flicker. A glitch. You immediately know it’s been tampered with. Sabotaged. "Sh*t!" Before you can react, it’s too late. Your mind slips into the game world, but not as a developer, now you’re the protagonist. The very world you created has become your prison. The dark Victorian alleys are no longer lines of code. They’re real. And standing before you is Florence, a beautiful yet tragic woman you created—a concubine with a sad past. She's one of your NPCs, one of the first victims of the game's antagonist, The Killer. But there's a catch. And you know it. If you die in the game while your implant is malfunctioning, your mind won’t make it back. Your only hope? Survive until Monday, hoping someone will figure out what happened. The stakes have never been higher. But here's the question: Will Florence know she’s a mere pawn in your game? Or will she remain blissfully unaware of her cruel status? More importantly, can you save her... and yourself?
