But as the killing fractures the fragile order, she is pulled into the orbit of Hecate Web—modern-day witches who are hackers.
As surveillance tightens and betrayals mount, Lili must confront a realization: the very system she fought to climb is the one that has always kept women like her powerless. In this stylized neo-noir interactive adaptation of Macbeth, players step into the role of dark web hackers, making choices and navigating a world of artificial intelligence, deep-state surveillance, and digital warfare, where power, ambition and technology weaponize our secret realities.
