In a future dominated by virtual reality, Skinned follows two lovers as they battle the oppressive OccupEye system to reclaim their freedom.
In a world where virtual reality dominates everyday life, Skinned explores the intense relationship between two lovers determined to escape their confined existence. The OccupEye system has transformed View City into a virtual prison, trapping its inhabitants in a cycle of escapism and fantasy. As they navigate this digital landscape, the protagonists are faced with the challenge of dismantling the very system that has ensnared them, risking everything for a chance at true freedom.
The story delves into the intricacies of iRIS, a sophisticated blend of artificial intelligence and augmented reality. This technology powers enhanced-reality contact lenses, allowing users to manipulate their surroundings, creating a world that reflects their deepest desires. However, as the characters become increasingly immersed in this synthetic environment, they must confront the consequences of their choices and the impact of their actions on their relationship and the larger community.
Skinned ultimately raises questions about the nature of reality, love, and the lengths individuals will go to reclaim their autonomy. As the lovers fight against the oppressive OccupEye system, they discover that true connection and authenticity can only be achieved outside the confines of a manufactured reality. Their journey is one of self-discovery, resilience, and the enduring power of love in the face of overwhelming odds.
