Neon Horizon

A perfect digital skyline is powered by stolen memories from the city below.

Cyber-noirMemory economyClassVisual franchise

Neon Horizon is not just a pretty future city. The whole skyline is a product: a subscribed dream of progress rendered from the stolen memories, sleep and attention of people living below it.

A perfect skyline sells the future while the lower city pays for it in memory and sleep.

A perfect skyline sells the future while the lower city pays for it in memory and sleep.

The main story follows a debt courier who carries fragments of other people's inner lives until one delivery shows him what the city is really extracting.

The franchise potential is the world: memory markets, debt routes, synthetic weather, luxury futures and a noir hero who learns that escape is also a product someone owns.

The city should be gorgeous and guilty. If it only looks dystopian, the temptation disappears.

This can be a flagship visual world if the class idea stays under every design choice.
