As headlines about designer babies lose their shock value and anti-aging gene therapies are listed with fixed prices on the dark web, we are sliding toward an uncontrolled future. Gene editing and organ trading—this double helix has broken free from ethical constraints, weaving a global black market network: an underground empire that dissects life into data and commodities the human body.
This reality is the core of my creation. My design is an immersive thought experiment, not a simple prophecy of tomorrow.
When genes become the ultimate currency of social stratification, does our very humanity get edited along with them?
I am building not just scenes, but a system — a bio-black market driven by algorithms of supply and demand. Here, flickering neon lights illuminate bidding screens in organ auction houses, while damp back alleys reek of cheap gene-splicing reagents. The VR experience will make you part of this system: will you profit as a "gene broker" or resist as a "body hacker"?
By immersing you in the complete chain—from desire and transaction to alienation—I aim to reveal a fundamental paradox: we fear becoming commodities, yet we desperately crave purchasing "perfection." This project is a mirror placed on the precipice of technological ambition.
