"INTO THE LOOKING GLASS"

THE HEIST THAT 
CHANGED THEIR COURSE

Inception

On a stormy evening in Seattle, Dr. Gonack Shaw, a disheveled man obsessed with art, control, and power, pores over an ancient 17th-century book in his dimly lit darkroom. Within its pages, he learns of a hyper-advanced supercomputer, that
power a race of sentient cameras known as the Camites. With a pulsating core of light encased in sleek metallic alloys and transparent glass, the FILM Core
functions as an architect, storing and transmitting raw data captured by the cameras to generate an augmented reality experience.

The Start

Initially questioning the text’s authenticity, Shaw’s skepticism crumbled when he received an unexpected call—relics have been uncovered in the basement of an old brick building repurposed as an art gallery. Among them is a peculiar art frame with a mirror-like surface. Intrigued, he retrieves the frame and brings it back to his office, meticulously inspecting the artifact. After days of relentless research, he makes a shocking discovery: the frame isn’t designed for paintings at all—it is a portal to another realm known as Spectra-9.

The Intervention

Before Shaw’s intervention, the Camites were a peaceful race, created to archive and preserve the visual landscape of the multiverse. But upon reaching Spectra-9,Shaw hacked the FILM Core, reprogramming the Camites into his personal art-
harvesting army. Under his command, they now extract and capture the mostpotent artwork, starting with the creations of Jesse Edwards, whose pieces hold an unparalleled energy source. All but four rebel Camites—Mira (Medium), Lumi
(Film), Reef (DSLR), and Lyros (Mirrorless)—fell under his control. These four alone understand the grave consequences of Shaw’s twisted vision, and they are determined to stop him before art itself is erased from existence. Their hope rests with Jesse—an ordinary human with no technical expertise, yet the only one capable of restoring the FILM Core. The rebels hold the knowledge but without hands, they are unable to act. To succeed, they must evade the relentless, drone-like Camites guarding the FILM Core—programmed to eliminate any attempt to restore balance.
