Synopsis

Augmentality immerses us in a future where humanity is hooked on augmented reality, allowing them to customize every visual aspect of their lives. But beneath this flawless illusion lies one aspect that steals people's sleep. No matter how much control they gain, they can't escape how others perceive them in their own augmented worlds. As the addiction to this visual paradise intensifies, the world around them deteriorates and society spirals into decadence.
