Synopsis
In 2025, the world turns telepathic. Three maladjusted protagonists navigate a world of psychic entities, from myths to society-sweeping ideologies and even their own inner multitudes:
Astra, a recovering messiah, seeks to redeem the catastrophe she brought to the world by unifying human consciousness.
The Prince, a vicious yet noble pagan, influences the collective dreamscape, striving to revive magic and the old gods.
Deshawn…well Deshawn just wants to make his obsessive maps of psychogeography in peace. So please stop telling him he’s the chosen one.
