The story
In the interactive prototype, Mika Haru oversees a fully invented municipal traffic computer. After an update, menus, windows, and notices begin forming physical spaces; each closed layer pushes Mika deeper into the system. The audience chooses between keyboard, voice, and analog notepad lever, while a human-defined rule set determines which control is preserved.
