Description
You are Erin Cole , a university student volunteering for a paid experiment conducted by "Cognitech Solutions" - the world's leading name in advanced android technology.
But they didn't prepare you for this...
The task seemed simple: Talk to an android, ask questions, evaluate how human it appears. But when Ji-jeon Park enters the test chamber and insists she is a human, paid to test you, lines begin to blur.
What starts as casual small talk evolves into intense discussions about love, identity, death and traumas.
Until you realize: This experiment will claim a life...
Your choices determine how Erin responds, what she reveals, and what she dares to confront.
Some paths lead to understanding.
Others lead to...
consequences.
This is not a game about winning or losing.
It is a story about staying human.
And whatever that means.
