About This Game

🔮 "You are not the first Veylon. You will not be the last. But you may be the one who breaks the loop."

The Hollow Circuit®: Book One is a BioPunk visual novel set in a fragmented future where memories are black market contraband, intimacy is policed, and poetry is punishable by erasure. You awaken as Veylon — or one version of them — in a forbidden archive beneath the Chthonic Nexus. As the system begins to glitch and timelines bleed, you must choose whether to resist, submit, or disappear entirely.

This is not a safe story.
This is the first Circuit.
