Synopsis

Inspired by Kraftwerk’s The Man-Machine, this cyberpunk noir tells the story of Love Vahl, a man turned into the emotional core of a vast AI-ruled city. When forbidden analog music reawakens his erased past, the machine-perfect world begins to fracture.

In Neon Europa, emotion is regulated, desire is engineered, and grief has been quietly deleted. Love and a synthetic woman named Lyra-9 uncover that the System was built on his own stolen memories and loss. As the city falls out of rhythm, they must decide whether to restore perfect order or allow humanity, in all its beautiful chaos, to return.
