2. Universe premise ✅
The one-sentence premise and what the universe is really about.
❝ QUOTE — The logline — from cb-creative-north-star › The Logline
On the scattered remnants of Earth, consciousness is the new frontier. Take agency of your own reality, or be harvested in theirs.
What it's actually about. Under the sci-fi wrapper, the Transient world explores attention economies (how your attention is harvested and weaponized), cognitive & sensory manipulation, and social stratification (the Nine Houses as a model of oligarchic power) — and the player's arc is the counter-argument: recognize the mechanisms, reclaim agency.
