Summary
An urban myth set in Augmented Reality.
REBECCA is an experienced beta tester for Augmented Reality games.
She accepts a job to find a bug in a game which freezes a non-player-character named DANI.
WAXMAN is an advanced survival horror game, which simulates a scanned real-world location.
She visits the developer’s house which was the blueprint for the game’s environment. The house has been prepared to ensure complete freedom of movement within the Augmented Reality session.
She starts the game by summoning the WAXMAN, a dangerous monster with a melting touch. She inspects the house and follows a woman’s dull cry for help, the WAXMAN being on her heels.
Finally, she finds DANI, but the girl is in a catatonic state. To REBECCA’s surprise, the girl is playing another WAXMAN game.
In order to help her, REBECCA must go one level down – she must go inside DANI’s game.
But the situation repeats. REBECCA gets lost in the nested levels of the game, where she plays a beta tester who gets lost in the levels of a survival game who gets lost in the levels of a survival game…
A game in a game in a game.
And only the WAXMAN knows the way out.
