LayereD Stories 0

In 2037, Shibuya, Tokyo features a mixed reality platform called LayereD that visualizes the Internet in the real world through special devices. These tools allow users to manifest their imaginations into tangible augmented-reality experiences, promoting diverse forms of self-expression. Despite its intended purpose, the system restricts rather than liberates users, contributing to a repressive societal structure. The Varna Counter system enforces strict control by removing harmful content to ensure LayereD remains "completely clean and healthy." As users are responsible for monitoring one another to uphold these standards, the environment becomes highly regulated and inflexible.
