Synopsis

Luka in a prisoner once again.

The Block is a place where reality and simulation start to blur. The only break from the twelve-hour energy harvest the prisoners have to endure is the “sane zone”—a virtual reality for them to live out their personal fantasies for life outside.

Luka will have to battle a descent into madness in order to escape.

Hiding out in the heart of the destroyed city, Luka will realize the scale of their mission to defeat the all-powerful AI, Happy. Can they stay hidden, build an army, and win the war?
