About
In FaceTape, a worn-down junkie living on the margins of a near-future city decides it’s time to stop using an analog VR drug that hijacks perception called FaceTape. The drug promises a vivid, controllable escape, but it comes with a cost that follows him into every ordinary moment—strained relationships, fractured routines, and a sense that reality itself has begun to feel unreliable. As he attempts to come clean, he has to navigate a world built around screens, signals, and manufactured impressions, where “normal” life doesn’t automatically return just because the substance is gone. Against this unstable backdrop, his determination to recover collides with the pressure to keep using, the fear of withdrawal, and the difficulty of rebuilding trust with the people who’ve been affected by his dependency, turning recovery into a daily fight for stability he never fully learned to secure.
