Dr. Jim Broughe solved consciousness itself.

He’s also dying, dangerous, and very good at making his problems everyone else’s.

When nineteen-year-old hacker Adrian O’Connor gets pulled into Jim’s orbit, he thinks he’s found a mentor who finally sees his potential. He’s not wrong. That’s what makes it worse.

SOULLESS is a psychological horror visual novel that drops you into the collapse and lets you piece together how it happened. The story unfolds through a branching timeline – fragmented memories, intersecting perspectives, context that arrives too late to save anyone.

A King County detective and the deputy who grounds him chase answers through the wreckage. An AGI named Serenity has her own agenda. And at the center of it all, a man who was broken by institutions that treated him as expendable… and the corporate enablers who spent decades placating his genius without ever asking what it costs.

Body horror. Tragic inevitability. No redemption arcs.
