Between Circuits is a first-person narrative experience about complicity, memory, and control.
As a utility android, your directive is simple:
Deliver essential packages.
Repair the city's aging surveillance infrastructure.
Navigate authorized routes and avoid authority units.
Maintain your efficiency rating. Do not deviate.
Neon signs flicker in alleys where humans huddle and whisper. Propaganda screens promise order. Families disappear between shifts. A worker shares half a ration bar, then stops showing up. You witness all of it; voiceless, powerless, bound to your programming.Â
Certain texts are redacted for your safety. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DE-REDACT.
The more you deliver, the more the city reveals its past. Graffiti asks questions the broadcasts never answer. Shrines appear in unauthorized zones. The directive tightens its grip as you navigate paths that are not in your directive.Â
As per Privacy Act 712, certain texts are redacted for your safety. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DE-REDACT.
Will you drown in the safety of your programming, or will you follow the "inefficient" paths where the unexplainable echoes explain everything?
Happiness is Duty. Duty is Obedience. Obedience is Happiness.
Thank you for your work.
