LayereD Stories 0 builds a future where imagination itself becomes the tool of control. The platform promises you can manifest anything, but the system is designed so that only approved dreams get to exist. Watch nine episodes dismantle the fantasy of technological liberation one augmented-reality layer at a time.
It's 2037 in Shibuya, and LayereD brings a visible layer of the Internet into the real world through mixed reality. With special devices, users can pull what they imagine into physical space, opening up wide room for self-expression. The promise of freedom falls short, though. The Varna Counter system wipes out creations judged harmful so that LayereD stays spotless and wholesome. Because users watch one another to keep the rules enforced, society grows stiff and confining, and daily life turns oppressive. This short sci-fi ONA sets its story inside a platform where freedom was promised but conformity was delivered.
