The Reyes family has been gone for years: cold, dead, and as distant as the stars. Caine has never really learned how to stop missing what they've had to leave in the past. But now the circuits spark to life. The once dark screen of Arcadia illuminates again. And Caine has to face their memories before time runs out. Featuring a serious take on that outdated VR joke, ghosts in the machine, and sci-fi superstitions.

Trigger warnings: Talk of death/family death, yelling, verbal abuse, loud sounds, physical violence, unreality (audio glitches).
