Whose Hellos Are These, Anyway?

In a retro-futuristic metropolis, you're a low-level drone known as an 'Undercurrent,' working for a secretive social network dubbed 'EchoSphere.' One day, you discover a bizarre meme: a series of cryptic greetings that seem to be spreading uncontrollably across the platform, sparking chaos among its users. Guided by your digital friend and gossiping AI, P.A.L. (Personal Assistant of Laughter), you must navigate vibrant virtual rooms filled with eccentric NPCs, all while interrogating quirky characters, decoding messages, and uncovering a hidden agenda rooted in social manipulation. Along the way, forge alliances or sow distrust as you determine whose hellos are the key to a darker conspiracy that threatens to tear the digital community apart. The choices you make will decide the fate of EchoSphere and perhaps your own.
