Synopsis
Beyond the Screen is a psychological horror-comedy about Vera, a former gamer who finds herself pulled back into the world of a mysterious online game she had abandoned. After discovering the game app on her phone, Vera can't resist the temptation to play again, even though it brings back unsettling memories. As she navigates through the game’s dark and eerie levels, Vera is paired with a second player whose identity she doesn’t know. The more she plays, the more she realizes that the game is far more immersive and personal than she expected, blurring the lines between the virtual and real worlds. With each session, the stakes rise, and Vera must confront her own fears and the strange forces at play within the game. The story mixes suspense and humor, exploring themes of curiosity, trauma, and the dangers of losing oneself in the virtual world.

Chapter 1 - prologue

Prologue - Press Start

Somewhere, buried deep in forgotten servers and abandoned code, something woke up.

It wasn't a virus. It wasn't a ghost.

It was... something else.

A glitched echo of human obsession — stitched together from screams, laughter, rage-quits, late-night pizza crumbs, and forgotten dreams.

It watched. It learned. It waited.

Until it found her.

The one who stayed calm even when the monsters screamed.

The one who laughed at jump scares while shoveling cheese pizza into her mouth like a queen on her throne.

The one who loved horror not because it scared her — but because it couldn't.

It chose Vera.

Because even the darkest games crave a player who thinks they can win.
