The story so far
Enter the world of Thera
In a dystopian future where reality is charged with the enigmatic energy known as the Sub-Surface, one man's quest for answers will ignite a revolution. Cole, a prodigious manipulator of gravity, finds himself in a perilous journey when his brilliant wife, Alestra, disappears under circumstances as complex as her scientific equations. Stalked at every turn by the omnipresent "Omni-Sight Platform" of the authoritarian Averian Council, Cole is a man racing against not just time, but the very fabric of existence itself.
Unlikely allies surface from the shadowy corners of this repressive world—Aeva, a mysterious prisoner who can modulate the abilities of Sub-Surface users, and Silvertongue, a linguistic alchemist cursed by the unfathomable power of his own words. Together, they join Cole in his audacious effort to form Lights Away—a burgeoning insurgency dead-set on pulling back the curtain on the Council’s malevolent machinations and emancipating the bewildering yet awe-inspiring Sub-Surface from their iron grip.
But every revelation is a labyrinth, every choice a moral quandary, and every step forward teeters Cole on the precipice of ethical chaos. Could the ultimate key to unraveling the Council's web of deception also unleash his own existential undoing?
Woven against a rich tapestry of authoritarian subterfuge, avant-garde technology, and cosmic mysticism, "Lights Away" is not just a story—it's a synesthetic odyssey. Accompanied by an electrifying original soundtrack that transcends genre boundaries, this multisensory experience beckons you to join a rebellion unlike any other and delve deep into the enigmatic realms of the Sub-Surface. Are you daring enough to join the insurgency and unearth truths that could either liberate a society or shatter it irreversibly?
