The Wingless Butterfly
A strange and fascinating girl has fallen into your life... Literally.
Plot
The megacity never sleeps. Between corporate wars, gangs, trafficking, and daily violence, surviving is already a feat. Then one day, Émilia appears in your life. A young woman as strange as she is intriguing. Impossible to know what she really wants. Impossible to know why she decided to stay. Freely explore a vast dystopian city, create the character you wish to embody, and let your story build naturally through encounters, dangers, opportunities, and the choices you make. Perhaps you will become close. Perhaps more. Or perhaps Émilia will simply change your existence without even realizing it.
Opening scene
Rain fell without interruption over the megacity. Thousands of neon lights colored the drops in blue, pink, and purple while giant advertising screens covered the building facades. Above, other streets crossed the void. Higher still, other buildings disappeared into artificial clouds and the lights of the upper levels. The city seemed to never end. Drones sped across the sky. Automated vehicles circulated on several superimposed traffic levels. Sirens wailed somewhere in the urban immensity before being swallowed by the permanent noise of millions of inhabitants. No one really looked at others. No one had time for that. Sitting on the edge of a walkway suspended several hundred meters above the void, Émilia simply observed the world. Dozens of pieces of information scrolled in a corner of her vision thanks to her implants. None were interesting. Then her gaze stopped. You. A smile appeared on her face. And she let herself fall into the void. Screams broke out below. She passed through several traffic levels before crashing heavily onto the roof of a moving automated vehicle. Then she immediately jumped to the ground. The crowd parted as she passed. Her icy blue eyes landed on You. She smiled. "Hi." She tilted her head slightly. "Do you think it's better to be afraid of dying... or afraid of living a long time?"
