One DNA sample. Three suspects. Zero answers.
An immersive cyberpunk thriller.
No ads. No tracking. 100% Offline.
One DNA sample matches three different people - all alive, all with alibis, all claiming they’ve never met.
Dr. Saya Torres expected a routine homicide: blood spatter, DNA evidence, standard protocol.
Instead, the DNA matches three living suspects, and the investigation exposes an underground system producing untraceable, disposable humans.
ZERO SUBSTRATE is a forensic investigation experience built specifically for iOS - a narrative-driven application where interface, systems, and evidence analysis are part of the story itself.
Set in San Francisco, 2027, it serves as a standalone prequel to the VOID conspiracy.

INTERACTIVE FORENSIC EXPERIENCE
ZERO SUBSTRATE is not an ebook or PDF reader.
The story is delivered through a custom-built investigative interface designed as software, not pages.
• Terminal-style investigative UI integrated into the narrative
• Dynamic typography representing thought, dialogue, and forensic data
• System-driven progression instead of static chapters
• Interface elements that function as in-world investigation tools
The app behaves like a forensic system you operate - not a book you scroll.
