E-DEN: A contrasting dystopian 3D series about a soul-transcendence technology that promises Paradise with a 99.8% success rate. Inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology twisted into a future corporate scam.

E-DEN sells digital salvation to the masses. But behind the pristine towers and glowing promises, a hidden truth silently spreads...

RUSTHAVEN: The decayed remains of E-DEN’s once glorious city, carries the aftermath. Where failed transcendence gave birth to rebellion.

PS: From the beginning, I found myself drawn to ancient Egyptian mythology, not for its gods or rituals alone, but for what lay beneath: a belief in transcendence not as fantasy, but as architecture. They built their eternity into stone. They shaped myth into corridors, chambers, a blueprint of the soul’s return.

Over time, I noticed a pattern that every religion, in some way, traces its roots back there. Not in imitation, but in resonance. The journey to Eden wasn’t just a story for the pharaohs it was a framework adopted, rewritten, sanctified across civilizations. Even now, though we call it metaphor or faith, we still hold the idea: that the human being is unfinished ascending, decoding, remembering something we once believed was promised.

Maybe that’s what E-DEN really is. Not a garden. Not a destination. But a reflection of humanity’s quiet refusal to accept the end as final.

We are still walking the path. Sometimes in gold. Sometimes in ruin. But always toward something that once was and could be again.

Like yes it’s unrealistic for someone who’s mid 20’s early 30’s to have done so much but. The trauma. Old Rhinedottir would’ve reacted to the cataclysm so much *differently*

I need to see someone who’s basically a child who had the whole weight of a nation thrust upon them and then watched it all break apart. I need to see her think that it was all her fault. None of this could happen if she had the wisdom of someone who isn’t a college student.

I need to see people realize that she’s just this little squiggly baby. Yes she murdered thousands of people but they’re ignoring the humanity in her. She’s still young and innocent in some ways

Need to see people realize that she was forced into the majority of her life decisions. Need to see how control over her environment becomes a vital part of her story.
