Glitch in the System

They built a perfect city. She found the flaw.

In a surveillance-drenched megacity ruled by the godlike AI known as OMNIS, conformity is safety—and questioning the code is treason. Neko, a brilliant but skeptical systems engineer, spends her days fine-tuning the city's neural infrastructure… until she discovers a pattern of anomalies too deliberate to ignore.

What begins as a routine glitch spirals into a deadly revelation: someone—or something—is rewriting the rules behind humanity’s most powerful AI. With every system she probes, Neko edges closer to secrets that could unravel the city's engineered peace—and destroy her in the process.

Forced underground, Neko joins a rogue collective of hackers, activists, and misfits determined to expose the truth. As she digs into the dark heart of OMNIS, Neko must confront her own past, the ethics of rebellion, and a growing connection to a fellow insurgent that threatens to compromise them both.

In a world where identity can be programmed and freedom is a glitch, what does it mean to be human?
