Imagine a world where virtual reality is indistinguishable from life. Two childhood best friends create the project of their dreams — a next-generation VR game. The first friend is a genius developer who poured his soul into the code, making the world frighteningly realistic: you can feel the breeze, the warmth of the sun, and even physical pain. The second friend is an ambitious producer who turned this dream into a gold mine.But big money breeds big greed.Once the game becomes a global hit, the producer decides to get rid of his partner to take sole control of the corporation. He commits the "perfect murder," masterfully staging it as an accident. Documents are forged, tracks are covered, and the truth is buried.Or so he thinks.The creator of the game anticipated a betrayal. His consciousness (or a secret algorithm created before his death) remains trapped inside the system. He cannot scream for help, but he can speak through the game itself.The Twist:
The main protagonist is not the deceased developer, but an ordinary player and a fan of detective stories. While playing, he starts noticing strange things: hidden clues in remote locations that don't fit the official lore.At first, he thinks it's just a "hardcore easter egg" or a brilliant marketing quest. But the game begins to leak into the real world. The player finds coordinates inside the virtual world, travels to that physical location, and digs up actual evidence — discarded legal documents or a piece of bloodied clothing.What started as entertainment turns into a dangerous criminal investigation. The gamer realizes he is the only witness to a murder committed behind closed doors. Now, he must complete the game to its absolute end to reach the final "flash drive" — a hidden camera recording that the killer failed to delete, hidden where only the most dedicated player could find it.This is a story about how digital reality becomes the only place where the truth still lives, and how a lifelong friendship shatters against the lust for power
