Everyone Can Rise

Every citizen has a score. It decides where you live, what you can buy, which school your child attends, how long you wait, and which doors open when you arrive.

Most people barely think about it. It has been part of things too long for that. They just keep moving.

A challenge before work.
A better route home.
Nice work, Tomas! +4

Everyone can rise. That's the promise.

And the city believes it, because most of the time it feels true.

But a small drop can become a long fall, and it never announces itself. It comes as a coffee machine that won't serve you. A neighbour who used to hold the lift and now doesn't. Your daughter's best friend, whose mother has decided to take a little break from the arrangement.

There is no moment when people turn away. Only the moment you realise they already have.

Mara Venn understands it immediately. She has spent seven years tuning these invisible rules, deciding not who falls, but how it feels while they do.

Then her own score begins to drop.

Everyone Can Rise is a dystopian thriller about a system woven into every part of ordinary life - and what it costs to stop playing.
