Abyss

Have you ever found yourself on Instagram Reels or TikTok at 1 in the morning, wondering where the hell the time went?

Joe Rice is adrift in the anxieties of modern life – lonely, disconnected and terminally online. His new job as an administrative assistant at the Ponos corporation seems like just another unfulfilling stop-gap. But from his first day, something is deeply wrong. The vast Canary Wharf office is empty, his line manager is a bundle of paranoid energy, and his work is monitored by WellBot, an AI wellness chatbot that demands total honesty while tracking his every move.

As Joe's tasks quickly descend into a surreal nightmare, he'll soon realise that handing in his notice could have deadly consequences.
