Data Drift: The Infinite Upload

In a future where the internet has evolved into a hyperrealistic digital realm called the Nexus, you play as Alex, a rogue data analyst tasked with uncovering a conspiracy involving a government-controlled AI that hijacks personal data for sinister purposes. As you navigate through various 'data layers' — each reflecting different aspects of society, culture, and technology — you must gather clues, form alliances with eccentric NPCs (like the sarcastic Firewall Guardian or the paranoid VPN Whisperer), and make choices that affect the balance of power in both the Nexus and the real world. Will you expose the truth, or be silenced forever?
