"Reality is sacred and it must be protected!"
In 2030s Britain, a fractured, ageing society governed by Social Scores is strained between Hermits immersed in the virtual Metaverse and citizens embedded in A.I.LEY's augmented physical world.
As part of a government crackdown, and under A.I.LEY's watchful eye, rookie BeSocial Inspector Amy Trimeh-partnered with Enforcer Max Cain-is assigned to track down Hermits in neglected tower blocks and pressure them back into physical society.
What begins as a routine inspection soon leads Amy to uncover a deep-rooted conspiracy-one that threatens the very fabric of justice, truth and reality.
But first, an unexpected knock at the door...

"An adult shall be classified to be living a Hermit lifestyle if they have...withdrawn from physical society for a continuous period exceeding six calendar months, and such withdrawal is not attributable to any diagnosed severe mental impairment...that substantively prevents engagement in physical social interaction." - BeSocial Guidelines 2032
"Our message to Hermits is clear: if you choose not to engage with physical society, there will be no refuge in the seclusion of your homes!"- Prime Minister, Leader of the Social Labour Party
"I ask, will the Prime Minister reconsider the oppressive BeSocial inspections, the intrusive Social Score system, the perverse A.I.LEY Vigilance cameras, and all the proposed authoritative restrictions?" - Member of Parliament for Rainsgate, New District
"We're not 'catching' anyone...I'm inspecting their homes and assessing their behaviour to determine if they're living a Hermit lifestyle...we're here to inspect and assist, not to catch and cage." - Amy Trimeh, BeSocial Investigative Inspector
"Our fight against the oppressive A.I.LEY, its government puppets, and its cronies at BeSocial is not merely a battle of good versus evil but a battle for the very nature of reality itself, the essence of truth, and, through truth, the understanding of God." - Founder, Protectors of Reality Order
