Description

Memories are malleable, dreams are a battlefield, and reality is a shifting landscape. Think Inception meets Dark Matter, with echoes of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the unsettling corporate dystopia of Severance.

You can’t always trust your dreams. But what if you can’t trust your waking life either?

Fifteen years after her mother’s mysterious death, Piper “Pip” Screed discovers The Reverie Cloud, a sleep-therapy program merging dreams with augmented reality. When the system is hijacked, her mind becomes a battlefield, her buried memories the ultimate prize. Trapped in a collapsing virtual dreamscape, Pip must navigate its mercurial layers, confront the specters of her past, and outmaneuver those who seek to weaponize her subconscious—before she’s erased entirely.

A mind-bending fusion of cerebral suspense and haunting surrealism, OPPOSITE WORLD explores the vanishing point between perception and reality—and how the aching tremor of human longing may pull us even further from both.
