“Come play a new way at J-Port Digital Cafe!”
Marino stopped when she got to this email.
She had no boyfriend, no ambitions, no social life. She was a shut-in.
Her whole life centered around her online life at SNS “Meet’s City”.
She slinked to J-Port and signed up for the starter service. The staff rambled on about user agreements and warnings. It seemed her playtime was limited.
Instead of a screen, the user sits in a private capsule and logs into Meet’s City, and can interact in the digital world like virtual reality, said the staff.
“Oh, okay,” said Marino detachedly. She was a regular player on her PC. This was confusing and different. The staff sensed her mood and quickly set her up to playtest.
