Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Welcome to the world of optical gaming, where your body is the conduit through which your mind can explore vast dreamscapes, blurring the lines between the surreal and the visceral, the psychedelic and the psychotic. OpTale is an immersive gaming experience that snares its users like a drug. It taps into the visual cortex through encoded contact-lenses to craft an enveloping, shared reality for its users; a world that is a programed, waking dream. You can choose to be a superhero, a spy or a sex god; you can be anything you want inside an OpTale. But how do you wake up when you can't tell you're dreaming? And how do you suppress the urge to play when the game decides you are the enemy? An exploration of addiction, sensory-overload and a bleak, not too distant future, OpTale is the story of one man's bizarre mission to crack the code of the 'Tales, to get behind the graphic interface and beyond.
