CRUNCH: Patterns in Shadow

De: Merrit Nox, Anthony Mhor

Narrado por: Anthony Mhor

At the dawn of the 22nd century, the Rapture Virus has claimed over a third of the world’s population. In the wake of this pandemic, futuristic megacities like Delphi, glittering, technocratic sprawls stand as bastions of safety and progress in an otherwise chaotic world. The epidemiologist, former WHO employee, and misguided idealist Richard Pythagoras Black (Py for short) finds himself out of prison on work release for one of Delphi’s foremost progenitors, the morally ambiguous megacorporation Vergeron. Py isn’t long at his new post when he stumbles upon a corpse in Delphi’s Old Town district, where a glimpse of a shadowy figure sends Py spiraling into a mystery beyond anything he could imagine.

Armed with Alice, a fledgling AI tailor made by Doctor Benjamin Whitechapel with a habit of bypassing secure systems, the help of the skeptical officer Logan Maxwell, and his own relentless obsession, Py begins a journey to crunch the data, following a trail of peculiar events never previously connected, revealing a sickness running through the very heart of Delphi.
