THE SLEEPLESS PROGRAM

A corporate dystopia interactive story for the Player2 AI Story Jam

About the Story

The Sleepless Program is a dark, reflective narrative about a corporation that has eliminated rest from the human experience. Workers no longer sleep, dream, or recover. Instead, they survive through a mandatory chemical stimulant produced by the company, a drug that slowly erases identity, emotions, and memory.

You follow Elias Ward, a mid-level employee trapped between productivity and self-destruction. As hallucinations bleed into reality and corporate surveillance intensifies, Elias must decide whether to comply… or confront the machine that owns him.

Main Character

Elias Ward - “The man who forgot how to sleep.”

A weary employee pushed beyond human limits by the company’s chemical enhancement program. Intelligent, observant, and quietly rebellious, Elias is slowly losing his sense of self. His story unfolds across oppressive offices, sleepless cities, and the hidden depths of the corporate underground.
