Candy and Max are pulled into a game they never agreed to play, run by a mysterious digital manipulator. The whole novel unfolds through text messages and chat screenshots — no narration, only what people type when they think no one is watching.
Readers call it the Pinoy Black Mirror: a study of social-media abuse, justice, dilemma, and human frailty that lifts the chat format to an emotionally and intellectually mature level.
