Metastasis [v0.3] [SplattermindStudio]

Alex Kane (a default name) — an ordinary middle-aged man — discovers he has two inoperable brain tumors. Instead of a quick death, they begin to slowly but inexorably take over his consciousness, distorting his perception of reality and awakening his darkest impulses: a craving for absolute control, sadism, sexual violence, and a desire to destroy everything he once loved.

Through hallucinations in which the tumors speak to him as distinct entities, Alex wages a desperate battle for the remnants of his humanity, all while watching his illness metastasize through his own family, turning his loved ones into victims, accomplices, and reflections of his own disintegration.

Ultimately, this is a story not so much about brain cancer as it is about the razor-thin line between the “self” and the monster that has always quietly lived within, waiting only for a reason to break free.
