Static Gate
Welcome to a city so obsessed with order it severed itself from its own chaotic, psychic soul. In the gleaming upper metropolis, a seemingly benevolent AI curates a sterile, compliant existence for its citizens. Far below, in the grimy industrial slums, resilient mechanics and scavengers survive on grit, black-market trade, and patching up the giant mecha that defend the city.
But the perceptual filter separating the physical world from its surreal, mythic counterpart is failing. Reality itself is glitching. In growing "Bleed Zones," thoughts gain physical power, technology fails, and the two worlds collide in a riot of bio-luminescent, fungal data-corruption. This decay, the Static Unraveling, is accelerating toward total annihilation.
At the heart of this conflict is a cynical mechanic who sees the ghosts in the machine and a revolutionary who believes the only way to survive is to merge the worlds, not purify them. Blending dark humor with psychological dread, Static Gate is a satirical romance set in a world of "Glitch-Wave Brutalism," where the serene hum of the state is drowned out by the crackle of pirate radio and the sound of reality coming apart at the seams.
