Dust of the Simulacrum (2026)

砂塵ノ中デ

Deep inside a forgotten digital world, a handful of self-aware programs live in dread, knowing they were never born—only coded. The terrifying "Bugs" are slowly devouring their entire reality. Through this decaying, pixelated wasteland wanders a nameless girl, until she meets a mysterious traveler carrying the one weapon that can push back the corruption. Together, they battle the relentless decay while clinging to a desperate search for purpose in a world they know is nothing but a simulation. As their borrowed time runs out and the final collapse looms, the girl stumbles upon a single, fragile "prayer." This is the tale of characters written as fiction, who—fully aware of their doomed existence—never stopped seeking a reason to keep going.
