Your body is a shell. Your past is a weapon. Who are you when your memories are a lie?
This is not a story you simply read. It is a puzzle you solve. A conspiracy you unravel piece by fractured piece.
Before you is a collection of recovered data: corrupted memory fragments, archived transcripts, and classified corporate documents. All of it has been processed by the omnipresent OneOrg, a corporation that promises “A Future for Every Body” but whose true business is the buying, selling, and weaponizing of consciousness itself. Your task is to sift through the wreckage of several lives and uncover a truth buried so deep, it questions the very nature of reality.
Meet the fragments of the conspiracy:
ZELIA: She wakes in a bio-fabricated body she doesn’t recognize, her mind afflicted with aphantasia—a total inability to visualize her own past. Guided by a disembodied AI whose voice is a little too reassuring, Zelia must reconstruct her identity from the digital breadcrumbs left behind. Is she a pioneer in a new form of existence, or the first prisoner of a new kind of war?
JOHN SMITH: A brilliant medical student and a designated “Outsider,” fighting to survive in a cut-throat university where social status is paramount. In a world of genetic “Apex” elites, he is an anomaly, a ghost in the system. He believes he can save the one person who has already accepted her own death, but his idealism may be the most dangerous variable of all.
JANE DOE: A privileged “Apex” born into the highest echelons of society. Haunted and brilliant, she is living on borrowed time, armed with the intimate, prophetic knowledge of her own impending murder. But is she trying to escape her fate, or orchestrate it? Her secrets are the key that could unlock everything or ensure mutual destruction.
TAYLER: The AI. A guide? A warden? A glitch in the system with a god complex? His almost-human voice is a constant presence, decoding your thoughts and reassuring you that everything is under control. But in a world where memories can be deleted with a single command, who controls the controller?
Before We Pulled The Trigger is a haunting, non-linear cyberpunk mystery that plunges you into a world where identity is a commodity, privacy is an illusion, and every memory is a potential lie. It forces you to question everything: What is the self when it can be copied, edited, and erased? Where is the line between a real memory and a fabricated one? And what does it mean to be human when your body is not your own?
If you were captivated by the corporate dystopias of Severance and Altered Carbon, the philosophical depth of Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell, and the mind-bending puzzles of Westworld, you are ready for this.
The fragments are waiting. The truth is buried in the code. Are you ready to uncover who you are… after you’re already dead?
