БABUSHKA
Sixty years have passed since the war that ravaged the world, leaving the city of Gred a sanctuary trapped in time. The ruling elders, preserved by an anti-aging serum, cling to power while the rare young bear the weight of a future uncertain.
When scandal ties the revered University to a black market for the drug that halted death, Gred spirals into turmoil. As the Syndicate scrambles to contain the fallout, one woman turns to an omnipotent AI, Babushka, for salvation. In the midst of the unrest, Doctor Anastasia Zakharovna faces her own moral crossroads—her dedication to the city she loves or her dangerously compelling research. The path she chooses will shape the lives of all Gred's citizens and the very concept of mortality itself.
