Set in a not too distant future small town, a VR life simulation junkie goes on a mission in reality to get a new dopamine game cartridge before she goes through happiness withdrawal.

More About “Chimera“:
A small-town nobody, Felicity Fury, spends every day making the most of her alternative life in virtual reality completing simple objectives in the great city of Sunscape! One day she comes out of the game to find her partner Logan has used the last of the cartridges, which use a concentrated dose of dopamine to keep players happy and hooked on the game. She gathers what little money she has to go acquire a new cartridge but she’s been plugged in too long; not only have they been recently declared illegal unbeknownst to her but she is beginning to dissociate. In other words, her reality is glitching. What is real and what is not? As she chases down a cartridge she discovers that happiness is not a product she can easily purchase. Rather, happiness is a product of the mind.
