What if everything you believe about memory, identity, and reality was not only unreliable—but designed to be? We trust our thoughts to shape our choices. We trust our memories to hold our stories. And we trust reality to remain consistent. But what if those elements—thought, memory, reality—are not only malleable, but part of a system you were never meant to question? In the world of Perception Transformation, reality is no longer fixed. It bends under pressure, shifts with thought, and folds when truth is pushed too hard.
