Inside The Phoenix Gene
What it is
The Phoenix Gene is an adrenaline-fueled VR quest for immortality. Control a fierce phoenix, Firestorm, and genetically enhanced Jackie, bonded by fate and driven by the collapse of the Slipstream multiverse. Total Immersion. Total Action: Fly, dodge, and move your body in this adventurous ‘schumupp.
The premise
They called it a cure. They didn’t mention the genocide. Seventeen-year-old Jackie knows the rules: if you test positive for the PX virus, you disappear. So when she fails her Wellness Check, there’s only one option.
Run.
Life Rite’s genetically engineered immortality serum cures diseases, but it also rips the multiverse wide open. When Jackie is hunted down, she travels back in time to stop the serum from annihilating the poor and oppressed.
As Jackie races through a fractured universe, she unravels the mysterious roots of her twisted family tree, but choosing the wrong alliance triggers the catastrophic, deadly Redistribution Program.
Even if she can somehow save humanity...it'll cost her life.
