In a dystopian future, humanity undergoes a stringent selection process to ensure survival. Sevyn and Solana await their enigmatic interviews in a stark lobby.
They are called into separate rooms where synthetic proctors begin their assessments with basic questions that quickly escalate into profound ethical and philosophical inquiries. The android proctors probe their memories, beliefs, and moral values, using
immersive environments to elicit emotional responses.
