4Surreal

CyberpunkSocial, psychological

Welcome to a future where your deepest convictions are a communicable disease. In the world of 4Surreal, ideologies are literal biological parasites, spreading through language and images to rewrite your mind.

Society has fractured. The uninfected elite isolate themselves in sterile, gleaming towers, far above the rain-slicked streets where ideological plagues fester and clash. In this chaos, megacorporations have found the ultimate business model: they design and sell "boutique" infections as lifestyle products, ensuring a steady demand for the cures they also provide. Fighting a losing battle for control are government agents who use strange neural devices to forcibly amputate belief from the human mind, often taking the host's personality with it.

At the center of this weaponized absurdity is a single agent who becomes a walking civil war, the first person to be stably infected by two opposing belief-parasites. He is a living paradox, a glitch in the system who is either the key to a universal cure or the spark that will burn the world down. In a world where every pop-up ad can infect you and every conversation is a biohazard, the most dangerous question is: are your thoughts truly your own?
