The Houses of the Curious

Decades ago, a band of neural-augmented rebels, the Seventy-Seven, and their leader, Arthur Lannius, helped liberate a remote mountain town from the Perpetual Corporation in a great machine war. Eventually defeated, the Seventy-Seven scattered and Lannius went into exile without a trace...except for a child.

When memories of a stranger burst into her mind, Aurora learns that her past is more than it seems. After discovering her hidden neural augmentations, she awakens an old surveillance drone and reignites the dormant war. Following the signal, Perpetual's mercenaries attack, forcing Aurora and her friends flee into the futuristic world beyond.

Pursued by Perpetual for the memories that she holds, Aurora must choose a side in a secret war fought by machine armies and a pantheon of fantastic digital beings. Questioning both friend and foe, she wrestles with the memories buried in her mind as the key to a war fought across time.
