HELL YES PRESS
Roebuck
In the tangled, static-charged space between the analog past and the digital present, something is breaking through. The people and animals of this spiral city are slowly waking up to a terrifying truth.
Their lives are vivid, full, and meticulously recorded. But the sensation is growing: every impulse, every memory, every love and fear feels like a scripted command. Are they living a life, or merely performing a playback? And as their new, horrifying self-awareness blooms, they must ask the most terrifying question of all: who is at the controls?
Roebuck—A terrifyingly absurd descent into the glitch of the soul.

Boogity was the jive inside the minds and rinds of some creatures and fruits. They woke from peculiar slumbers and inwardly staggered up toward new rising suns, their own beaming registers. They'd been feeling kinda crummy, right down their ancestor lines for years on years more, but over a bizarre chunk of days they dozed and dreamed and awoke refreshed like they'd never known before, defiant, owning their own. It was during this stream of hours when some mammals met with other each-others and fully exhaled their strange new potentials into new actions.
