Empathic Plague

The secret is out, and the dormant is now dominant. The Aetherian Foundation has initiated a widespread, secret activation of the Fifth Genome, triggering a global wave of hyper-empathy. Overnight, millions of individuals develop the ability to feel the collective emotions of those around them, leading to a world teetering between utopian cooperation and violent, emotional chaos.As society begins to tear itself apart under the weight of this "e;Empathic Plague,"e; Dr. Orion Kael and Juno Varik realize that this biological shift is also a spiritual one. They must race to help the newly activated control their overwhelming powers before the Foundation uses the global instability to seize total control. In a world where privacy of the mind no longer exists, the struggle for survival becomes a struggle for the very definition of free will.
