As an indie gamedev and avid player, Michio Hiroki is fed up with shitty gameplay and dumb NPCs!
There’s no worse feeling than getting into an epic boss fight with his childhood friend Sachi—only for the boss to start pulling off attacks so broken you literally can’t counter.
Michio loves awesome game worlds that pull him in, but the stupidity of NPCs pisses him off so much, he comes up with a crazy idea: what if he could create characters that are actually intelligent?
Enter the NPC System—a program he builds to achieve this, and it's not as easy as he thought. And when the System starts acting on its own and a mysterious glitch freaks out his computer, Michio stumbles into a strange new world called Leclaire.
A world only accessible through an app on his PC's desktop.
What starts as harmless exploration quickly turns serious when Michio realizes Leclaire might be even more real than any game he ever played...
