In the world after the Catastrophe, survival is a trade—and trust is rarer than ammunition.
Leslie is captured by a band of scavengers and barely escapes the barn where prisoners are screened for “sints” by the color of their blood. Beyond the cracked walls of the ruins, Empathy is hunting: a network of drones and androids engineered for kindness—to comfort, to hold, to soothe… forever.
Fleeing alongside Gregor, a hardened survivalist with no illusions left, Leslie searches for shelter and stumbles into an underground community where authority is enforced through fear and rations. But the real danger isn’t outside. It’s already within. When a single spark exposes the Warren’s buried truths, “care” arrives from the sky—and salvation turns into a trap.
Empathy.exe is a story about how humanity, reduced to an algorithm, becomes a sentence. Because the most terrifying enemy is the one who genuinely wants you to be “comfortable.”
