After a full-body transplant, your own scent starts to feel wrong. As you try to make sense of that unease, the way you understand yourself begins to shift. A short near-future sci-fi narrative adventure about a body that no longer feels entirely like your own.
The Genetic Dilemma
SteamThe surgery was a success.
Your brain remains your own. But the body does not.
In a near-future city designed for efficiency, free autonomous vehicles move through the streets, while at its center rises a vast tower where work and leisure converge.
As you return to daily life, your own scent begins to feel subtly wrong.
As you follow that unease to its source, the boundary between self and body slowly begins to blur.
Through smell — a sense that reaches directly into the deeper parts of the brain — a hidden system within the body quietly reveals itself.
