Nominal (2026)
2046. Corporations are using repressed memories to secure sensitive data against hacking. K lives in isolation inside a sterile memory compound, subjected to daily interrogations designed to excavate and erase a single buried memory. As fragments resurface through recurring dreams of fire, panic, and a lost child, he struggles to separate genuine recollection from manufactured reconstruction. Guided deeper by a calm, invasive corporate system, K is forced to confront a tragedy tied to his sister and the guilt he has carried ever since. But as the sessions intensify, a darker truth emerges: his trauma is not being treated. It is being weaponised. His unresolved grief is a living encryption key, and the corporation is using his subconscious to breach a protected mental firewall. Nominal is a psychological sci-fi noir about memory, grief, and the commodification of consciousness, in a world where even trauma is bought and sold.
