The near future has linked the development of technology and the gaming industry into a tricky knot. From virtual reality glasses and motion capture systems to neural interfaces and complete immersion in fantastic game worlds. Ivan Morozov, a 27-year-old communication systems engineer who monitors technical progress and is fond of the history of the Great Patriotic War, becomes a test subject in a major experiment to completely immerse the consciousness of a living person in the game world of the Age of Discoverers project. A mixture of developments in the field of artificial intelligence, an allusion to the realities of the late 19th century, mixed with fantasy motifs and races, social conflicts, magic and romanticism of the colonial era, becomes the curse and reality of a forced guest, the only person in this crazy world.
